Cut Throat City

[Opens Aug. 21 in theaters.] After destructive hurricane Katrina decimates New Orleans in 2005 and FEMA is highly selective in who it helps in RZA's gritty, violent, well-acted, star-studded (Terrence Howard, Ethan Hawke, Isaiah Washington, Wesley Snipes, Kat Graham, Joel David Moore, Rob Morgan, and Sam Daly), 132-minute film, four desperate childhood friends (Demetrius Shipp Jr., Shameik Moore, Keenan Johnson, and Denzel Whitaker) in the Lower Ninth Ward attempt to rob a casino in New Orleans for a drug-dealing thug (Tip T. I. Harris), and when the heist goes awry, they find themselves hunted by a tenacious detective (Elza González) and a revenge-fueled warlord.
