Cut Throat City, the âambitious, messy, sprawling and bullet-riddled crime epicâ (Richard Roeper,
Chicago Sun-Times), set in the Crescent City, has topped the Netflix charts hours after its debut on Netflix. The film, the third effort from recording artist, composer and rapper RZA, was released last summer to critical and audience acclaim and is mounting a dark horse, renegade #FYC Awards campaign to support the Netflix streaming of the film.
Opening on a gritty graphic novel animation, Cut Throat City finds four boyhood friends return to NOLAâs Lower Ninth Ward in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. As FEMA fails to provide aid to their wracked community, they reluctantly turn to a local gangster for help. When that job goes horribly awry, they must outrunâand outsmartâa system rife with corruption and filled with both malevolent and colorful characters.

Fatale Review:
The adultery-fueled erotic stalker thriller subgenre is frequently one of the least interesting and most predictable of the bunch, generally appearing more cartoonish in their portrayals of unhinged characters and forcing audiences to side with the married/partnered person in the equation. Though the film may home some issues in its dialogue and pacing, Deon Taylor and David Loughery’s latest entry into the subgenre,
Not so fatal attraction.

Hilary Swank and Michael Ealy star in Deon Taylor s thriller about a married man whose life unravels after he has a one-night stand with the wrong woman.
There should be a limit to the number of plot twists a film can spring on an audience. Sure, it s okay for fiendishly clever puzzlers like
Sleuth and
Deathtrap to keep us guessing from one moment to the next. But run-of-the-mill suspensers such as
Fatale which wears its film noir and 80s-era thriller influences so heavily on its sleeve that you can feel the seams fraying really need to keep them to a minimum, otherwise they lose all credibility. Such is the case with this effort directed by Deon Taylor and starring Hilary Swank as the titular femme fatale.
