... View MoreThe greatest movie ever!

... View MoreThis film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
... View MoreI was very surprised how well the over all production value was on this film. It was well shot, directed, and acted.The locations used were amazing. I was extremely shocked that these locations existed in a modern city. When you watch the film you will be very surprised at how certain parts of Detroit look like a nuclear war zone, and how this ties into the movie.Brian Lawrence is a great director, and I look forward to his future work.Overall, I would recommend this movie if you are looking to sit back, relax, and have a great time.
... View MoreThis film is exploitive and really raunchy at times. Many of the story lines don't make sense and the characters act in unbelievable ways. It really is bad storytelling at a low budget - the worst of both worlds. I suppose a couple of moments work in the film, but I am guessing that is by accident when compared to so much else that didn't work.On a good note, the cinematography was decent. The city looks awful which, I guess, is what the makers were going for with this film. Yes, Detroit is a tough town with its share of problems, but do we need a Detroit cast to get together to make the city look even worse? (thanks guys).The exploitive scenes of drug use, rape, and prostitution don't help much. Just more nudity and sexual situations added in for kicks - which will only appeal to those with the most puerile of interests.I could give a litany of problems with this film, but heed my warning and stay away.
... View MoreTo be honest at first my opinion was reserved, I was unsure whether I could relate to the characters and attribute any value to the roles. once viewed, the film was impressive and powerful. This film was developed with a fine point and eye opening perspective of third world situations in the United States. 4 short stories about change and progression from society standing, that anyone can relate to.This film stretches the line of racial tension and profiling, portraying a need and desire for a better life, and all the obstacles that slam the characters in the face on there way up.For being developed independent, without any Motion Picture Company Money, Panic in Detroit shows the same quality of picture as any other film company out there. with the lack of decent content as of late in the film industry it is rather delightful to see individuals step up and create fine quality films.If you enjoyed films like Crash, Colors, Dark Blue, and Constant Gardener, then Panic in Detroit is a must see.
... View MoreI hope this film will make it to large enough distribution that you will all get to see it. Definitely quality flick for low budget. There are 4 different story lines throughout the film, and one of them is emotionally more powerful than the rest, you can choose for yourself which one (avoiding spoilers), I definitely know which I pick as best. This movie also pushes the envelope regarding gender/race/financial/geographic/etc. boundaries and stereotypes. As someone who lives in the area, these observations are interesting, thought-provoking and even amusing -- yet often unflattering. I don't believe that this film depicts the mainstream of Detroit culture. That is exactly the point. "[Panic in] Detroit['s]" best feature is its focus on the extremes that create a contemporary, segregated urban environment.
