A very hard-hitting movie that leaves a lot to think about. I have been to Novi Michigan, which is few miles away from Detroit. When I wanted to visit Detroit, I was warned that it is risky! Better not to visit. But in a flight back home, when I asked about it to an American lady sitting next to me in business class, she brushed aside any such threat and said there is no problem. So I guess Detroit City has two perspectives.
Excellent performances, direction and script. A must see.
