Overview
- The film opened in U.S. theaters on January 30 through Fathom Events.
- Omar Epps stars as Malik, a Chicago gang leader wrestling with conscience and the cost of change.
- Writer-director Yelena Popovic adapts a fourth-century transformation tale into a gritty crime drama rather than a faith-market release.
- Produced by 50 Cent with Quavo in the cast, the project enlisted former gang member Reginald Akeem Barry Sr. as executive producer and adviser to ground its portrayal.
- Early reactions highlight Epps’ work and a soundtrack shaped with Wiz Khalifa and composer Costas Christides, while one review faults uneven pacing, tone and action staging.
