When Hurricane Katrina devastates New Orleans, four desperate friends band together to pull off a daring heist in the heart of the city.
Pop culture references from “The Godfather” to “The Wizard of Oz” abound in P.G. Cuschieri’s crackling screenplay, and The RZA’s direction is suitably jagged and lively to reflect the tense and dangerous atmosphere in New Orleans’ devastated Lower Ninth Ward post-Katrina. It’s like the Wild West, with drug dealers and gangsters lording over block after block.
