WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Alicia West (Harris), a rookie cop in the New Orleans Police Department, captures the murder of a drug dealer on her body cam, by her partner (Grillo) and his associates. Unable to get help from the department she’s sworn to, West allies herself with stranger Milo (Gibson) in an attempt to expose the murder and her fellow officer’s corruption, all while avoiding a hit that’s been placed on her…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Naomie Harris and Tyrese Gibson team up to survive in this gritty crime thriller, which comes to us from the director of – of all things – the hilariously awful The Intruder from earlier this year.
