REVIEW - Deviation

A prisoner escapes from Broadmoor high-security psychiatric hospital on the outskirts of London, kidnapping a young mother.

The film mostly takes place in and around the victim's car.

The role of Frank Norton, the tortured madman, is played with the appropriate degree of mayhem, but the overall pace is a bit slow.

It's an interesting turn, but in the end dogged by the need to show Norton as a mixed-up, rather than a plain old murderous beast.
