Detroit is a gripping and memorable historical drama that gives an account of the riots in Detroit in 1967 and the incident that took place at the Algiers Motel that year. It's masterfully directed by Bigelow with a talented cast illuminating a dark chapter in US history. Regrettably, despite the acclaim that followed it, Detroit found itself neglected, making it an underrated gem in Bigelow's illustrious filmography which includes movies like Zero Dark Thirty and The Hurt Locker.
