Detroit comes out of its corner slugging and barely stops. By the end the viewer has a swollen eye, ringing ears and a conviction that the referee should have stopped the fight. August 24, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Each actor inhabits their role with a precision and mettle that means even in the depths of confusion, the complex group dynamics are easy to read. August 24, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

In its own polemical way, it is very powerful filmmaking but, as storytelling, it is one-dimensional. There is too much "docu" here and not enough drama. August 23, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Detroit is as incendiary, pulse-pounding, relevant, and essential a work as you are likely to see this year, and it's easily one of the best films of the year. May 12, 2020 | Full Review…

After watching Detroit, emotionally-depleted and politically-agitated moviegoers are guaranteed to stumble out of the theatre feeling woke - I'm not so sure about entertained. March 30, 2020 | Full Review…

Kudos to Bigelow/Boal for traversing such troubled waters, even if the product, in my estimation, is all bite and little substance. March 24, 2020 | Full Review…

The rage pulsing throughout this movie is one that can spark conversation, engage brain synapses, even cause change. The question is, how much do we want to change, and how many more Algiers will we endure? February 19, 2020 | Full Review…

You'll see a well-made piece of cinema from one of the best auteur directors in Hollywood, but is the trauma worth the cost of admission? January 10, 2020 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…

Though there's still plenty in the film that should be lauded - the saturated and claustrophobic cinematography, and potent performances from most of the cast, for instance - it's a film that should be watched with a disclaimer. January 7, 2020 | Full Review…
