Disturbing tale of racism. Can someone be this evil? Maybe Boyega’s best performance. Bigelow knows how to build fear and tension.
In real life this time period was the downfall of a once great American city.
An intimate look at the Algiers Motel Incident that does a great job contextualizing the events.
Detroit (2017) an intense and unsettling portrayal of the 1967 Detroit riots, focusing on the brutal events at the Algiers Motel.
Full of raw talent with a story that will grip you from the start - and frustrate you deeply.
Another one of those shameful home turf stories of racism that needs to be told so we don’t repeat history. Well casted.
Some scenes can be intense and difficult to watch, but it is an incredible film about a true story and provokes a lot of thought and emotion
I like a movie that based on true story and that’s was a heavy movie
A brilliant piece of cinema that should be seen by all.
I was on the edge of my seat. The theater was so tense you could hear a pin drop. An incredibly engaging watch.
