In 1977, five rogue police officers formulate a plan to rob three criminal strongholds – the Hong Kong Triads, the Italian Mafia, and the Harlem Mob – all in one night. When a blackout sweeps the city the night of the robbery, the crew is forced to navigate a hellish landscape as years of being overworked and underpaid forces each of them to confront their own morality.

At first I was like, other people have been accused of worse and still get work, but there were a lot more grooming accusations toward him than I realized throughout multiple projects.

 

[BLEEN]

Oh, that's just perfect! Great talent everywhere there

 

[Randomly Generated]

I'm surprised anyone would still work with Cary, but then maybe it's not surprising.

 

[Modest_Modsoul]

I learned this from Men in Black, the blackout caused by an alien; he thought it was funny as hell.

 

[j7vikes]

Hardy is one of my favorite actors ever so I'm down for whatever he is does.

 

[GoodGrief]

This sounds really cool. Old school, pulpy thriller.

 

[Lifejumper]

Dope premise

Where the heck is Blade

Sounds great and love the actors but seems I need to read up on Fukunaga.

Killer concept, great talent involved (Yes, I know Fuka a FAN). I'm sure this will turn out great.

 

[rsfour]

Sorry, that's a pass with Fukunaga.

 

[J_Viper]

Good to see the Big Guy acting again now that he's done with Venom
