Cut Throat City คัตคอร์กซิตี้ 2020 [ พากย์ไทย บรรยายไทย ]

Blink (Shameik Moore) lives in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward. It’s 2005. Hurricane Katrina has rendered the area a vaguely policed near-outlaw state. Its residents, primarily people of color, cynically call it a situation of “accelerated gentrification.” Blink wants to be an artist, but his pitch to sell a graphic novel is met with condescension. His portfolio is fat, but so is the pile of bills on his counter. His new wife, Demyra (Kat Graham), works to keep food in the fridge for their young son; she’s supportive, as long as he stays out of trouble. And their application for FEMA aid is denied, inexplicably.

His closest friends aren’t faring much better: Junior (Keean Johnson) has few prospects, Andre (Denzel Whitaker) is a struggling jazz musician and Miracle (Demetrius Shipp Jr.) is a streetcorner drug dealer. They don’t have much to do besides debate whether Tarantino uses the n-word too much in his movies, and watch their neighborhood crumble. It’s a situation that feeds disaffection and desperation — and justification for doing the wrong thing. The four men connect with local gangster Cousin (T.I.), and if you’re wondering what type of guy he might be, well, he not only hosts raccoon fights, but if you can’t cover your bets, his raccoon ends up hanging from your nethers. Before you know it, Blink and his buds are heisting 150K from a casino and getting into car chases and shootouts with cops and possibly getting away with it, although maybe not totally unscathed.

There’s much more to this story than four men and their righteous crime spree. One of the only good cops in New Orleans, Lucinda Valencia (Eiza Gonzalez), is on their trail, although she may be sympathetic to Blink’s plight; Courtney (Rob Morgan) is one of the bad cops. Two of New Orleans’ silent power brokers are Jackson Symms (Ethan Hawke), a city official who isn’t above doing a dirty deal, and The Saint (Terrence Howard), a coke lord who quotes the Bible like he’s Jules Winnfield. And Blink leads his cohorts to his estranged fisherman father’s Black Snake Moan swamp shack, and of course the estranged fisherman father is played by Wesley Snipes. These many things, as such things tend to go, heat up and come to a head and all that.
