Motor City [2025] ▀ The Silent Retro Action Flick That's Begging for a David Lynch Remake

This website is well known for highlighting the most unconventional and unique things, and the movie Motor City is no exception.
People can be annoying sometimes, right? Especially when they talk way too much.
If you’re feeling that way, non-verbal films might be just what you need.
In the past, this genre was limited to just a few projects, like Baraka and Samsara.
But now, we have a full-blown action movie in this exact format. [Motor City] .
I won’t spoil the plot, instead, let me give you some highlights and the general vibe of the film.

• No dialogue: only music and sound effects.Location: Detroit, USA
  
• Setting: late ’70s to early ’80s
  
• Cars: gorgeous vintage ’70s vehicles from an era when design gave a car it’s soul
  
• Props: stacks of cash, tape recorders, and absolutely no cell phones
  
• Music: a solid blend of ’70s funk-pop and ’80s synthwave, tied together with cinematic suspense transitions

The movie can feel a bit melodramatic, excessively epic, or even cliche, but it’s still highly satisfying.
The acting is occasionally understated.
The storyline is quite simple, but we can easily overlook this, thanks to the film’s unconventional approach.

I wonder what a David Lynch version would look like. I bet he’d love to remake this flick and inject some horror elements into it.
