Terrence Howard

From director RZA and writer P.G. Cuschieri comes the explosive CUT THROAT CITY, the story of four boyhood friends from New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward who return after Hurricane Katrina to decimated homes, no jobs, and no help from FEMA. Out of options, they reluctantly turn to a local gangster, who offers them one shot at turning their situations around—by pulling off a dangerous heist in the city's heart. Unfortunately, when the job goes wrong, the friends are on the run, hunted by two relentless detectives and a neighborhood warlord who thinks they stole the heist money.

Willie (Thomas Haden Church) is a goodhearted man living rough on the dangerous streets of Los Angeles’ Skid Row when two rich teenagers coerce him into fighting other homeless men for cash. Stuck in a violent world, he doesn’t fully understand. Willie finds solace in the discarded diary of a troubled young girl and the compassion of those he meets along the way. 
Academy Award nominees Thomas Haden Church and Terrence Howard join Boyd Holbrook in Knate Lee’s directorial debut, a powerful tale of loss, redemption, and friendship.
