Story summary
  • Director Potsy Ponciroli released the dialogue-sparse crime film “Motor City” in the United States.
  • Screenwriter Chad St. John portrays ex-con John Miller (Alan Ritchson) as a framed man sentenced to 25 years who seeks revenge.
  • The R-rated 1-hour-43-minute film uses visual storytelling, graphic gore, a brief coda with poor makeup, and a soundtrack that includes Donna Summer, Fleetwood Mac and David Bowie’s 1982 “Cat People (Putting Out Fire).”
