What kind of watch this is
Motor City is a 2026 action thriller set in 1970s Detroit. Directed by Potsy Ponciroli, it runs 104 minutes. The plot hinges on a single mistake: falling for the wrong woman. John Miller, played by Alan Ritchson, does exactly that. He ends up in prison for a crime he didn’t commit, his life ruined by a man who took the girl away. Now he plots revenge. The tagline is "Love will drive you mad," which feels less like marketing and more like a warning label.
What the critics said
Critics found a movie that runs on fumes, then re-ignites itself. Rotten Tomatoes reports 63% positive reviews from 97 critics, with an average score of 6.1 out of 10. The site’s consensus notes the deliberate lack of dialogue occasionally backfires, but a rollicking soundtrack and visual panache keep the engine humming. Metacritic lands on 63 out of 100 from 18 critic scores, labeling the reception "generally favorable." It is a vehicle that needs a tune-up, but it definitely moves.
How it did with audiences
The budget was $30 million. The TMDB user score sits at 6.2. That is a specific kind of mid-range approval, the kind that suggests people watched it, formed an opinion, and then moved on without writing a manifesto. It is the cinematic equivalent of a polite nod.
