Motor City

“The action scenes and kills are bloody, and the performances and muscles are big. After Amazon’s “Reacher,” consider “Motor City” another showcase for the above-the-title billed Alan Ritchson as a credible, cinematic leading man.”

“When “Motor City” lays off the jukebox approach and lets score composer Steve Jablonsky take the lead with his rumbling, shimmering synth work, the movie is intoxicating and unstoppable.”

“Not every action movie should be this sparse. A sprawling spy thriller has different storytelling obligations than a lean revenge flick, and exposition is an essential tool when it's used well. But Motor City arrives as a welcome reminder that there are still other ways to tell an action story. Sometimes the most satisfying thing a movie can do is simply trust you to watch.”

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

“Sure, the “no dialogue” thing is a gimmick. And sure, it’s the most generic script you can imagine. But Motor City takes those bare bones and makes them beefy.”
