Movie Reviews:

• r96sk: An important story to tell no doubt, but as a film it’s a disappointment in my opinion.

  Of course I cared for the characters from the first second due to the obvious subject matter, but that’s as far as I ever got. It’s a long 143 minutes, with one scene in particularly lasting an age without really doing much; except the final act of it. A film needs to do more, if this was a documentary – even a docudrama – then fair enough but it isn’t.

  It also wastes a pretty top notch cast. John Boyega is in this, portraying Melvin Dismukes. The amount of times he’s just there standing around doing nothing is frustrating, he has a few moments where he gets to act and you can see his phenomenal talent – especially one time where you see the effect of events on Melvin – but that’s about it. A waste.

  Similar can be said for Anthony Mackie, star of one of my favourite films in ‘The Adjustment Bureau’. He plays such a minor role, you cast someone like Mackie you gotta use him more surely?

  Will Poulter gets most of the screen time. He’s good I guess, not sure we need to see quite as much of him as we do – given his character is an open/shut case. Elsewhere, you have other familiar faces like Tyler James Williams (shoutout Noah) and John Krasinski.

  I don’t intend to crap on this film. It’s clearly well made, has great intentions and relays a notable story. I’m just disappointed with the end product, I judge films as films and ‘Detroit’ is rather underwhelming.
