If you're not a racist and don't like police you will get mad watching this good movie

Rating: 8/10 (11 February 2018)

Detroit is a story from 1967, but it could have been from today or tomorrow because nothing really changed or will change. There is still as much racism, if not more, then in those days. Now it's just a bit more concealed, even though with Trump as president, racism is now more in the open again and more tolerated. Detroit is a hard movie to watch, aspecially if you are a normal human being that has issues with racism, police brutality, and injustice. It won't give you a good feeling, on the contrary, it made me mad and sad. Unless you're one of those dumb racists, then you will probably get a kick out of watching innocent minorities getting beated and killed, and all that unpunished. The arguments will be of course that they got it coming and so on, the typical narrow minded racist nonsense. It's a fact that black and other minorities still not have equal rights, and that police still can kill innocent people without getting any convictions. There is a law for the rich, and a law for the poor, a law for the whites, and a law for the minorities. But Detroit is a really good movie, hard to watch but well made, with an excellent cast. They couldn't find anybody better than Will Poulter to play the racist officer. He has already a natural face of a coward, if you could put a face on a coward. He was perfect for this role. Very well acted even though I felt deep hatred towards him, but that's only credits to his acting. You hope of course for a good outcome, but it's based on true facts, so you know that the outcome will be outrageous and unfair. That's not even spoling anything about the movie, that is just life like it was then and like it still is now, nothing changed.
