Watch Detroit For Free

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Good concept, poorly executed.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I thought the story was good, but the thing that was great was seeing inside the train-station and other buildings that either aren't there anymore or won't be for long. Insightful look at the city, been there a few times certainly a rough place. Some of the acting was good, some of the acting was so-so but the camera quality looked great. I didn't know what to expect at first, so it turned out to be a pretty good rental. I like movies like this so I may be a little bias but it's worth checking out if you are into crime dramas. Also, the script was good but would have been even better with some big name actors, though like I said some did a very good job.

we follow the lives of several people who cross over from Canada into Detroit. How their lives intersect and how they behave is not what we expect. Low budget version of Crash reset in the once thriving capital of the American auto industry. Its a mixed affair that has its heart in the right place but never manages to quite work thanks to the budget and slips into cliché now (granted they play with them but they still use them). Its okay, but those expecting a different sort of film thanks to a video cover that promises a bang bang shoot 'em up and synopsis thats really off base, are sure to be very disappointed. 5 out of 10

This film is exploitive and really raunchy at times. Many of the story lines don't make sense and the characters act in unbelievable ways. It really is bad storytelling at a low budget - the worst of both worlds. I suppose a couple of moments work in the film, but I am guessing that is by accident when compared to so much else that didn't work.On a good note, the cinematography was decent. The city looks awful which, I guess, is what the makers were going for with this film. Yes, Detroit is a tough town with its share of problems, but do we need a Detroit cast to get together to make the city look even worse? (thanks guys).The exploitive scenes of drug use, rape, and prostitution don't help much. Just more nudity and sexual situations added in for kicks - which will only appeal to those with the most puerile of interests.I could give a litany of problems with this film, but heed my warning and stay away.

I hope this film will make it to large enough distribution that you will all get to see it. Definitely quality flick for low budget. There are 4 different story lines throughout the film, and one of them is emotionally more powerful than the rest, you can choose for yourself which one (avoiding spoilers), I definitely know which I pick as best. This movie also pushes the envelope regarding gender/race/financial/geographic/etc. boundaries and stereotypes. As someone who lives in the area, these observations are interesting, thought-provoking and even amusing -- yet often unflattering. I don't believe that this film depicts the mainstream of Detroit culture. That is exactly the point. "[Panic in] Detroit['s]" best feature is its focus on the extremes that create a contemporary, segregated urban environment.
