The Disappointments of 'Detroit' (film review)

Despite moments of emotional power, Kathryn Bigelow's film offers a narrow and unnuanced portrait of the city's 1967 riots.

According to the review:

• 
  
• The film is overly dramatized
• 
  
• Appears at first to tell a broad, multi-faceted story but doesn't
• 
  
• Focus is quickly narrowed to a single building during one night
• 
  
• Succeeds in placing viewers in the shoes of the helpless
• 
  
• Story is "disappointingly one-dimensional"
• 
  
• Says nothing about the cultural and institutional forces that fed racism
• 
  

It's basically a horror/torture film so be prepared.
