Trailer For RZA's CUT THROAT CITY a Heist Film Set in New Orleans After Hurricane Katrina
If you’re a fan of heist films, I’ve got a trailer for you to watch today that might interest you. It’s titled Cut Throat City and it comes from musician and filmmaker RZA (The Man with the Iron Fists and Love Beats Rhymes).
The story follows four boyhood friends in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward “who return after Hurricane Katrina to find their homes decimated, with no jobs, and no help from FEMA. Out of options, they reluctantly turn to a local gangster, who offers them one shot at turning their situations around - by pulling off a dangerous heist in the heart of the city. When the job goes bad, the friends find themselves on the run, hunted by two relentless detectives and a neighborhood warlord who thinks they stole the heist money.”
The movie has a great ensemble cast of actors that includes Shameik Moore, Demetrius Shipp Jr., Denzel Whitaker, Keean Johnson, Eiza Gonzalez, Kat Graham, Isaiah Washington, Tip "T.I." Harris, Terrence Howard, Wesley Snipes, and Ethan Hawke.
This looks like it could be a pretty good movie! I’d watch it. Go USA will release Cut Throat City in select US theaters on April 10th.
