WARNING: spoilers ahead.

I agree with others assessment of the true title of the film: "The Algiers Incident" or something like that would have been more descriptive. I lost it early on at two different times: the bro hug backstage at the theater [[bro hugs weren't around until 1990) and using the song "Whatcha See is Whatcha Get" by the Dramatics. The song wasn't written until 1971. You'd think Ms. Bigelow would have done more homework.

I also agree that the acting was sub-par. And I kept wondering why no one would just answer the cop: "the dead guy had a starters pistol and was shooting it out the window. We don't know what he did with the gun."

Save your $10+ and wait for the DVD. Also wish there were more actual Detroit scenes even if it was file footage.
