Customer Reviews of Detroit 9000
Motown '70's gangsta scene Probably never gonna be a famous "must see" type movie, but a whale of an entertaining piece this is! We rarely get to see the Motor City in the distinction as the prime locale for a major film, but this proves to be a notable and entertaining exception. No real Hollywood high profile stars here: Alex Rocco, Vonetta McGee and Hari Rhodes are the headliners closest to that category. Nonetheless, it is a fast paced tour-de-force of Police corruption and Black Power machinations in an era of nascent political upheaval. Add to that a cleverly conceived and executed heist scene and you have the makings of a very absorbing melodrama. <
> <
> What I appreciate about this movie in particular is its cut-to-the-chase and tell-it-like-it-is dialog, eschewing all the fancy Hollywood glamour patter in favor of real life good and bad guys (can you tell the difference?) just trying to take care of business. The story line is fast paced, well thought out and executed. The aforementioned principals each do his/her part to carry out the demands of that story line. The not-so-famous supporting actors come across very well also, adding a distinct Detroit flavor to the production. Also, check out the ending: what do you think? <

Racism, Muder, Politics, Detroit Style.
This crime drama/mystery is set in a post-riot Detroit, and touches on many issues that Motown has yet to resolve.
<
>
<
>First we have an elegant, well scripted political fundraiser for the potential first black governor of Michigan. This event is held at the still open Book-Caddilac Hotel, and you will see a number of Detroit landmarks in this film that were still in use at this time (1973), and today they are either gone (Union Depot, JL Hudson), or remaining as a ruin (Caddilac Hotel).
<
>The event is robbed and the first charge made is that if this was a "white" event there would have been a better police pressance to protect it. That about sets the tone for this movie.............
<

<
>A veteran white detective, gets paired with a younger, black rising star to solve the crime. In the interim we are shown the world of lingering racism, black on black exploitation, and the ever corupt world of politcs no matter what race the politicians are, and the politics of religon (no that is far from a new concept).
<
>
<
>This movie is VERY graphic in the chase scene (most of it filmed on the approach trackage to the then already closed Union Depot), and the business side sex is featured as well.
<
>
<
>A very well done film (rescued by Quentin Taratino) that is far above the "Blacksploitation" film genre of the 1970's. A strong soundtrack adds the perfect background for many of the scenes, and the group of singers at the hotel, after the bobbery add a touch of the macrabe to the aftermath.

BORING!!!!
This movie starts out alright, with some good chase scenes and a few shoot-outs, but then it just becomes incredibly boring. Detroit 9000 becomes so slow paced, that it will put you to sleep.
SNOR-FEST.....ZZZZZzzzzzzzzz
