IMDb plot summary: Fact-based drama set during the 1967 Detroit riots in which a group of rogue police officers respond to a complaint with retribution rather than justice on their minds.
Directed by Kathryn Bigelow. Starring Ben O'Toole, Jacob Latimore, John Boyega, and Algee Smith.
This movie is suffocating and infuriating in the best possible way. I'd forgotten Kathryn Bigelow directed this, but I much prefer it to The Hurt Locker or Zero Dark Thirty, as the characters here really rise to the front in a way I didn't see happen in the other two.
4 stars.
