This film sucks, buy for reasons other than >muh rasisum
It's a mess, it either needed to climax with the tense motel segment or start with it and develop into a courtroom drama. By doing the riot, the motel and the trial it's too long and the first and third acts feel empty and rushed.
The black guys are all Tokens apart from the singer. The racist white guys are caricature evil, the non-racist white guys fall over themselves to virtue signal. Boyega just fucking stands there doing nothing for the entire film.
Is the torrent out yet?

If you torrent it just stop the film at the end of the motel shooting, it's much better that way.

There's a scene early on in Detroit where a National Guard tanker shoots at a little black girl with a 50 cal.
Not sure what Bigelow was thinking but made up shit like that is just going to alienate bon-black audiences.

Weeell, it is called semi-docu drama. So it has to set up the story quickly in the 1st act. The better the 1st act gets, the more smooth ride the current becomes. I really liked Poulter's crupted cop, though. Just Bigelow exercised the theory on the docu-drama sooo good that a dude's effort is unnoticeable. He definitely carries whole plot. I hope he gets some sort of recognition during the award season.

Poulter and the guy who plays the Dramatics singer make the film. They could have dropped the other two cops and half the black kids and it probably would have worked better.
