About the film
Trouble is coming. Hard.
What it’s about
Jaxen, a former cop, now works as a private investigator in Atlanta. He is hired to find Jahari, a missing R&B singer. The search soon points to a larger conspiracy, one that forces him to question the people around him and revisit his own history.
What hooks you
Michael Jai White stars as Jaxen, and Gillian White plays Gina. The cast also includes Method Man, Noah Fleder, Orlando Jones, and Theodore Park. A background detail links the film to the 1972 action movie "Trouble Man" through a photo of Robert Hooks, who played Mr. T in that earlier picture.
Who it’s for
It suits viewers who like action mixed with comedy, private-eye mysteries, and stories where a lone investigator uncovers hidden connections.

Trivia
- When Jaxen, played by Michael Jai White, reads a text message from Gina (played by Gillian White), the background on the phone screen is a photo of Jaxen and Robert Hooks (Hooks played Mr. T in Ivan Dixon's 1972 action film Trouble Man).
