Motor City

PRAISE: This movie may lack in dialogue but it makes up for it in so many satisfying ways. The story is about John Miller (Alan Ritchson), an ex-con, on a quest for revenge against a gangster (Ben Foster) who framed him for a crime he didn't commit. The cast including:Shailene Woodley as Sophia, Amar Chadha-Patel as Singh, Ben McKenzie as Kent and Lionel Boyce as Youngblood,have to be more expressive as usual as their scenes play out because this was like watching a silent movie minus the in between scenes captioned and descriptive cards. I had forgotten how much i missed seeing Woodley on the big screen. I loved that a lot of the movie looked similar to an Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips graphic novel. I liked that Writer Chad St. John andDirector Potsy Ponciroli took a chance with the movies uniqueness also providing some very stylish scenes. As soon as i questioned something in the movie it was quickly answered. I liked how the movie displayed how love and revenge are at times just constant fixations in life.This movie demands its audience to pay attention because you really might miss something. The action sequences are bloody, intense and involving and truly not for the faint of heart. I can't remember the last time i smiled so much watching the last 4 minutes of a movie.
PROBLEMS : I could complain about some minor things like the CGI but I really can't bring myself to go all in.
Scale of 1 to 10 a 9
One of my favorites of 2026
