By the film's end I wanted to cry. This reenactment of the Detroit uprising is powerful, more so because times have barely changed. People are still being killed on the streets of America (and around the world) by the people who are supposed to protect us. The court system reinforces the lack of justice shown to the victims of police perpetrators. Terrific performances by John Boyega (I wanted to hug him) and Will Poulter (I wanted to slap his smug face) bolster this intense and provocative drama. One of the best films of 2017.

That was the first time a movie made me so angry, knowing this had happened, I almost wanted stop watching. That would've been exactly what the fim does not want. It want's you to watch, not for the sake of enjoying it or to be entertained but to get angry. Keep that in mind if you decide to watch this, it´s intense and it gets to you.

This movie is intense. It's not a easy watch. Kathryn Bigelow does a great job directing. The movie is long but it doesn't drag too much. The camera work is great, there are a lot of dutch shots and shaky cam to make you feel uneasy like everyone in the movie. John Boyega and Will Poulter are great, especially Poulter being a super creepy and abusive police officer. Crazy to think this happened only 50 years ago.

It was alright, nothing brilliant, bored me at times, It had a good team on board thought and had some good action. The events It’s based on were powerful.

[8.6/10] Detroit is a harrowing movie. It’s supposed to be. There is nothing sugarcoated or tempered about the horrific abuses it puts on display. Instead, it explores the causes, comission, and perpetuation of those abuses in turn, with only the slightest hints of hope to peak in around the edges More

"I need you to survive the night".

This is not a thriller. This is a horror movie. The intensity almost killed me.

'Detroit' is an ice cold look into the past, which later comes to a sickening realization that some things don't go away. Racism is alive and well. Same thing More

An important story to tell no doubt, but as a film it's a disappointment in my opinion.

Of course I cared for the characters from the first second due to the obvious subject matter, but that's as far as I ever got. It's a long 143 minutes, with one scene in particularly lasting an age without rea More
