[Trailer] ‘Cut Throat City’: RZA-Directed Drama Stars T.I., Wesley Snipes, Ethan Hawke

From director RZA, comes the explosive Cut Throat City, the story of four childhood friends in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward, who return after Hurricane Katrina to find their homes decimated, with no jobs, and no help from FEMA to rebuild.

In the new trailer, the friends find themselves running out of options, so they turn to a local gangster, who offers them one shot at turning their situations around – by pulling off a dangerous heist in the heart of the city. When the job goes bad, the friends find themselves on the run, hunted by two relentless detectives and a neighborhood warlord who thinks they stole the heist money.

Cut Throat City is written by P.G. Cuschieri, the film stars T.I., Wesley Snipes, Ethan Hawke, Shameik Moore, Terrance Howard, Demetrius Shipp Jr., Eiza Gonzalez, Denzel Whitaker, Keean Johnson, Kat Graham, and Isaiah Washington.
