The pacing and editing of ''Detour'' is also quite good; the set is littered with many props (including a giant mock TV set showing a variety of images throughout), so director Joss Crowley is able to use them to good effect to help compose many of the camera shots. And Costello changes up the mood very nicely throughout, including shifting from the bare-sounding lament "When I Was Cruel No. 2" one minute to the full-on distorted, electric frenzy of "Watching the Detectives" the next. | The pacing and editing of ''Detour'' is also quite good; the set is littered with many props (including a giant mock TV set showing a variety of images throughout), so director Joss Crowley is able to use them to good effect to help compose many of the camera shots.

Megan and Rebecca Lovell from the Atlanta, Ga., roots-rock act | Megan and Rebecca Lovell from the Atlanta, Ga., roots-rock act Larkin Poe show up about halfway through the proceedings, and their contributions on nine of the tunes help lift ''Detour'' to an even higher level of excellence. From a fantastic, spirited run-through of the Costello/Paul McCartney co-write "Pads, Paws and Claws" to the stirring, spiritual "Down on the Bottom" (cowritten with Bob Dylan; Costello certainly has excellent taste in collaborators), Megan's fab lap steel guitar shadings and Rebecca's lovely harmonies and mandolin mesh perfectly with Costello's urgent vocals. The lap steel on "Blame it On Cain" is another treat, and on a raucous "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding," Costello looks to be having a ball performing with the Lovells, even though he's sung this song countless times. It's one of a number of high points of a film that succeeds on multiple levels. | ||
