Motor City, a violent thriller for revenge set in the 1970s, made its premiere in North America on Thursday night at the Toronto International Film Festival. So far, the biggest claim to fame for the film is her leading man, Alan Richson, who is best known for his lead role in the premier video series "Reacher". For the fans of that series, which is all about looking at Richson's character, beaten bad guys with ease and confidence We all wish we could haveThis new film on his will be right to your ally.

To make even more convenient for Reacher fans is that Richson's character here, Johnon Miller, not only maintains Reacher's firmness and hustle; It maintains Reacher's attractiveness only when needed. Motor City is 103 minutes, and during that time, Miller speaks only three words that the audience can hear. For the rest of the film, he quietly bothering his situation and retaliates. Like Reacher, Miller should not speak because his actions (and his absurdly large framework) talk about him.

At least as far as dialogue is concerned, Motor City is probably a more convenient adaptation of Jackack Ricer's novels than the recent TV show was once. No matter how stoak is Reacher in the show, the TV version is a real conversation compared to his literary counterpart. Author Lee Deta has the advantage of giving direct thoughts to readers through the narrative, which means that there is no need for Reacher to say the necessary exhibition loudly. Book Reacher is a real quiet king, and it's only in this unrelated film that Richson has made that aspect of justice for the character.

To say that Miller speaks only three words in "Motor City" is not 100% accurate. It is shown as talking here and there, but we never give privacy to those correct words. Motor City remains focused on visual and music, with a soundtrack that seems to hit the playlist that works continuously. It's not a complaint, to be clear: the commitment of the film to this light-dialogue, a music-video-sense for a smooth, soothing viewing experience. (Trivia: Richson was not the first person attached to Starwar in this movie.)

The lack of dialogue here works so well because the true story of "Motor City" is familiar with even ordinary genre fans. We all saw action thrillers for a framework guy for a crime he did not commit, who erupted for revenge. The film knows that his plot is simplistic, so if he stands out, he will have to make a bold stylish choice and fully devote himself.

The result is a film that is not only visually astonishing, but also highlights how much the film needs dialogue as an exhibition crutch. Catches a similar vibration as a "quiet place", The Hush episode of "Buffy Vampire Killer". Season 4 episode without words in the "M -robot" or "6b boy" in "Only Murder in the Building". When no one speaks, the director guarantees that viewers' eyes are glued to the screen; They can't look at their phones while keeping the dialog in a loop. Film without dialog helps provide active, engaged audience. It's a simple trick, but Motor City shows that there is nothing wrong with a trick done well.
