With the release of Dunkirk just a few
weeks ago and now Detroit this week, it's fairly safe to say
that awards season is in full swing. While the war film was a technical marvel,
Kathryn Bigelow's Detroit is a exceptional in other
ways.
The award winning director is able to make each character,
despite spending very little time with them, feel real and thus the horror of
the second act and the film as a whole all the more harder to bear. Detroit does
not hold back and it is difficult to watch, but the alarming amount of
parallels between then and now makes the film a necessary experience.
Each moment is filled with tension, not knowing what each
subsequent action may mean in the overall scenario is nerve racking. In many
ways Detroit employs a lot of elements of a horror film, only
it's not a creepy doll or evil spirit causing the torture, it's man's
hatefulness.
