Cut Throat City

A decent made for streaming urban crime drama, 4 childhood friends , trying to pursue their dreams of success, get hit with the calamity of Hurricane Katrina in their community and all hope for survival seem doubtful, RZA did what he could with the material to bring us a tale that is all too real, the acting from the veteran actors was excellent, the camera work during some scenes was a little chaotic, the plot could have been a little more coherent in some scenes , the soundtrack was excellent , the young actors that portrayed the friends, their skills will continue to develop, but got the job done in their roles, overall decent watch, I want to see more films from RZA in the future, he has potential to be a good director.

The editing department must've became casualties of covid. There is nice body and setup for the finale, but when the last leg of the movie comes- things basically turn into a quagmire. I am perplexed and dissatisfied. With movies/stories it's the final impression that's the lasting impression.

What's the point of having a movie based in New Orleans, if the accents are all over the place.

I liked this movie for showing us realistic criminals, police, and their problems, all which remind me of real life ones. All characters look real and deep enough, can be remembered by look and behavior. Emotional, both positively and negatively, in from of hope and sadness. Good story and lesson explained in one sentence and two different scenarios. The only bad thing here is too much smaller heists, characters, problems, instead of higher quality but less. I expected less quantity and more quality of heists, criminals, scenarios. Also nice presence of religion and morality.

Nobody with an actual New Orleans accent in the movie huh? And casting TI? Come on man, I'm pretty sure Juvenile was unemployed around this time. Lil Wayne or something.
