Summary

During the 1967 Detroit riots, a late-night police raid on the Algiers Motel turns into a brutal interrogation of Black guests and two white women after officers believe a sniper is inside. Kathryn Bigelow's drama reconstructs the terror inflicted by the officers and the long shadow it casts over the survivors and the city.

Released in 2017, Detroit is a crime, drama and history film.

Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 13,058 2010s films, not against the whole corpus. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 509 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 197 IMDb reviewers are calibrated for this title, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 202 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track.
