Wu-Tang Clan mastermind RZA has many skills – producer, rapper, chess player, martial arts movie buff and gastronome. He’s also an actor and filmmaker and has just directed edge-of-seat heist movie Cut Throat City.
Centring on four friends pulling a daring job at a New Orleans casino during Hurricane Katrina, it stars Shameik Moore (he voiced Miles Morales in Spider Man: Into The Spider-Verse!), Demetrius Shipp Jr. (also known for playing Tupac in All Eyez On Me), Kat Graham, Wesley Snipes, Terrence Howard, Eiza González and Ethan Hawke. The director admits the story has deep resonances with his own life and career, revealing in the latest MOJO, “The fun is always finding the piece of the story that relates to your life - that spoonful of soul you put in goes a long way.”
RZA s Cut Throat City was a poor depiction of New Orleans Chron 1/29/2021 Shelby Stewart
The title Cut Throat City truly sounds like a Blaxploitation flick, but in reality, the film doesn t even measure up to that standard.
Cut Throat City was an indie film released in August of 2020 and recently added to Netflix about four childhood friends conducting a money heist in New Orleans Louisiana. Let me start off by saying, this movie was completely bad.
Directed by musician RZA, the film appears to be a story about making good decisions, and is guided by the underlying theme, a pencil can take you a lot further than a gun.
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.
