    Storyline

    Edit
    From director RZA comes the explosive CUT THROAT CITY, the story of four boyhood 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. 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 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. —Well Go USA Entertainment

    No actors from New Orleans were available?
    Nobody with an actual New Orleans accent in the movie huh? And casting TI? Come on man, I'm pretty sure Juvenile was unemployed around this time. Lil Wayne or something.
