Detroit, 1970s. When John Miller begins a relationship with a gangster’s girlfriend, his life is destroyed.
Out for revenge
When he is finally released after a grueling prison sentence, the city has changed completely – but his thirst for revenge has not. He hunts without mercy the men who destroyed his life. But the deeper he sinks into the violent underworld, the more he notices that retribution exacts a very high price…
Shailene Woodley
Starring alongside Ritchson, we see Motor City also Shailene Woodley (Divergent (2014)), Ben Foster (Hell or High Water (2016)), Pablo Schreiber (Den of Thieves (2018)) and Ben McKenzie (Gotham (2014–2019)) pass by. The action thriller, which viewers sometimes compare to Drive (2011) of John Wick (2014), is the work of director Potsy Ponciroli. He previously made the film Old Henry (2021). For Motor City he went all out for spectacular action scenes; in the action film, only a handful of sentences are spoken.
