Moviegoers are saying
Motor City delivers a bold but polarizing experiment in dialogue-free filmmaking that divides audiences between those who appreciate its ambitious visual storytelling and those who find it a tedious substitute for compelling character development. While Alan Ritchson's imposing physical presence and the film's solid soundtrack earn praise, most viewers struggle to connect with the silent approach, finding it more awkward than artistic.

i was hoping my amc surprise movie would be her private hell, but it ended up being my private hell
laurenJul 20, 2026The soundtrack was solid, but that's honestly where my praise for this film ends. The movie has little to no dialogue, and I genuinely don't understand who thought that was a good idea. It's 2026, not the 1920s. Instead of feeling like a bold or creative artistic choice,…

mattJul 23, 20262026 Ranked Honestly, turn your brain off and enjoy the vibes. If you dig loud rock music, cool cars, and massive guys punching things in slow motion, it’s a blast. The whole zero-dialogue gimmick is pretty neat, but it does get a little old by the end. Please give me a…

A much easier movie to root for than it is to enjoy, Potsy Ponciroli’s striking but silly “Motor City” strips grindhouse revenge thrillers down to their studs with a dialogue-free wad of pulp fiction in which big muscles, broad tropes, and a badly implemented soundtrack of…
davidehrlichAug 30, 2025Use your words guys
johnAug 27, 2026This film barely relies on dialogue, letting the music carry the emotion and atmosphere. Honestly, I got a little bored and sleepy at times, but I pushed through and watched it until the end. I can appreciate that it was trying to experiment and do something different, and…

This was not nevessarily a bad movie, but it was a boring movie. Granted, I went in not expecting a silent movie, but I expected at least some more action and buildup as well as a few more words. The action was not bad, but you genuinely barely connected with the characters in any sense. You…
JWolf is "meh" onMotor City5.9/10 No dialogue is a cool gimmick but really hurt this movie hit its emotional beats. The soundtrack was fire, probably the best part of this movie. The elevator scene was also insane. 3/4 of this movie is pretty boring. It follows a simple revenge story but you really never end up caring…
ant likedMotor Citynot great but i like it. they just kinda expect you to care about a lot of things without actually trying to make you care which really sucks. it also tries to be the ultimate hell yeah movie but it’s just montages for most of the runtime that leads to action. even then, it doesn’t have nearly…

The fact there was almost no dialogue was cool and weird Thought it would be like John wick fighting wasn’t till the end. was hoping the friends would survive but they didn’t. The ending was kinda weird, the fact he didn’t kill the guy until they were old was weird. Enjoyed ⭐️⭐️1/2
Tristan lovedMotor CityFor those going into this expecting the same old generic action movie I’d like to warn you. There is hardly any words at all this entire movie but that’s not a bad thing at all. It was a fun surprise for me. The way they do it through music makes it super fun. Elevator scene🙌🙌
Datsotfoplorts3on likedMotor CityIf you are new to the revenge action thriller, go see other films of the genre first before seeing this so you know how it plays out since there is barely any dialogue. Reminded me of the movie Silent Night. Good movie with good action. Classic revenge story. Love the blood

7/10 This was pretty interesting. The action was great and the way they told the entire story with little to no words really worked for me. The plot itself was just fine and the ending was kinda stupid imo. I liked the soundtrack, and the acting was good. The elevator scene 😳
Jonny likedMotor CityI really enjoyed this movie. But you should know going into it that it barely has any dialogue. Like literally four sentences. Really well done showing that with the right acting emotion, you can tell an entire story. Like a modern day silent movie. The last five minutes suck.
Wagner Freitas lovedMotor CityTo see a movie surprise me in this day & age and mind you, not for the obvious reasons you might think, as a true lover of sound I value more than anything the lack of it and this right here is a near perfect mixture of music, sound, visuals that works so well with the story!
