2.5/4

Potsy Ponciroli’s Motor City feels like a lost B-movie from a bygone era, channeling the spirit of the vigilante films and other exploitation genres of the 1970s.

Motor City, as its best, qualifies as a true immersive cinematic experience. It’s a movie almost entirely without words, but it speaks.

Motor City is a stylistically unique action movie throwback.

It feels like a gritty MTV music video fused with old-school revenge flicks like something from Sisu set against that worn-down '70s Detroit grit.

3/5

A pulpy revenge thriller that doesn’t care much for subtlety but absolutely thrives on mood and texture.
