13 Awesome Movies To Watch This Summer (Which Aren't Blockbusters)

5. Kathryn Bigelow's Detroit Movie

Release Date: August 4

The Plot: Little is known so far, except that it's set during the 1967 Detroit riots.

Why It's Going To Be Awesome: Kathryn Bigelow has emerged as a true heavyweight filmmaker in recent years with her magnificent work directing The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty, so expectations are naturally high for her latest effort, especially as it reunites her once again with Oscar-winning writer Mark Boal.

The cast is an embarrassment of riches, including John Boyega, Jack Reynor, Will Poulter, Hannah Murray, Anthony Mackie, Jason Mitchell and John Krasinski, so even though there hasn't been a single image or scrap of footage released, it seems likely this one could be a major awards player next year.
