Give me a brooding mid-1970s Detroit nightscape stained with grubby neon, drop a body with a severed leg off a building and crank up a David Bowie song and you have my attention. But director Potsy Ponciroli’s vicious revenge saga, Motor City, while impressively sustained on many levels and even fun in a mindless exploitation way, can’t get around a gimmicky script by Chad St. John populated with pulp-crime stereotypes in boilerplate situations.
