Motor City Review
'Motor City' is a Cool Movie, but its Lack of Dialogue is a Problem. 'Motor City's stylish tone is undermined by its lack of dialogue despite great performances from Alan Ritchson and Ben Foster, and a rocking soundtrack. On the surface, 'Motor City' is an electrifying and very cool crime thriller, stylishly directed by Potsy Ponciroli, with a rocking soundtrack, an intriguing story, interesting characters, and strong performances from the cast.
But the film suffers from one glaring problem, there is almost no dialogue, and the movie is essentially silent. I get what Ponciroli was going for and it is a fascinating experiment, but much like John Woo's 'Silent Night', it doesn't work, but 'Motor City' almost pulls it off.
