Cut Throat City

Four boyhood friends from the New Orleans’ Ninth Ward return home following the destructive Hur-ricane Katrina.

Directed by RZA and starring, Shameik Moore, Demetrius Shipp Jr., Denzel Whitaker, Keean Johnson, Ethan Hawke, Eiza Gonzalez, Kat Graham, Isaiah Washington, T.I., Terrence Howard, and Wesley Snipes, Cut Throat City is a charged thriller-heist film where everything is on the line.
