Detroit

Rating: 4/10 (2 January 2018)

Slow introduction sets everything up pretty good until well known police brutality arrives and violence (which start to seem fetishized) fails to shock as it becomes extremely repetitive in the hotel sequences. The situation guides you to your feelings as the generic scenes can't. Kathryn Bigelow emulates some outdated mannerisms while a contained Will Poulter and poor acting from Jack Reynor seals the weak link. However the last 30 minutes delivers good pace and a true sense of injustice ending the movie on a high note.
