Review of Detroit (2017) by Imthenoob — 20 Feb 2018

The sub-plots were a little much and that weird animated opening was very out of place for a film based on such serious events. Regardless, This is still a very good movie. The cast did a great job and I felt that Will Poulter gave the performance of his career, which is already very promising, with this film and he definitely made the movie IMO.

Is it a little preachy at times? Yes but I think they did a good enough job show both sides of the riots and in a realistic enough way to be a brutal reminder that history is doomed to repeat itself if we allow it to.
