Motor City Box Office Day 1: Adds $850,000 as Domestic Total Hits $850,000

A Gritty Revenge Tale Hits Theaters The stylized, dialogue-free approach and 'needle drop' sequences drew comparisons to Scorsese and Tarantino, but the gritty revenge tale failed to ignite box office on its first day.

Directed by Potsy Ponciroli, 'Motor City' is a 103-minute action-thriller steeped in 1970s crime drama. The premise follows John Miller, a man who falls for a local gangster's girl in Detroit and is wrongly imprisoned for a crime he didn't commit. With his life in ruins, Miller emerges from prison with a singular, burning focus: to exact revenge on the man who stole everything from him.

The Cast and Their Characters

Leading the charge is Alan Ritchson as the vengeful protagonist, John Miller. Shailene Woodley plays Sophia, the object of his affection and the catalyst for his downfall. The formidable antagonists are brought to life by Ben Foster as Reynolds and Pablo Schreiber as Savick. The supporting cast includes Amar Chadha-Patel as Singh, Ben McKenzie as Kent, Lionel Boyce as Youngblood, and Rafael Cebrian as Athos, filling out the film's gritty underworld.
