ONE SPOON OF CHOCOLATE Hammers In With Initial Key Poster Art For RZA’s Latest
The Man With The Iron Fists helmer RZA is set to make his next landing at the 24th edition of the Tribeca Film Festival with action crime drama, One Spoon Of Chocolate. RZA writes and directs a cast led by Shameik Moore who’s had some terrific outings in films like Dope and Netflix’s “The Get Down,” and as the lead voice talent for Sony’s animated Spider-Man franchise.
Moore, or at least his shape as of this week, is making the rounds on the film’s inaugural keyart ahead of its Tribeca World Premiere in June. Moore is joined on screen by RJ Cyler, Blair Underwood, and Paris Jackson, as well as Emyri Crutchfield, Michael Harney, and Harry Goodwins. Tribeca programmer Matt Barone has more in the notes below:
After serving his country in the Army, Unique (Shameik Moore) was falsely accused of assault and sent to prison. Now that his sentence is over, Unique sets up shop in Ohio to restart his life, linking up with his only surviving relative Ramsey (RJ Cyler). There’s something insidious happening in this town, though, via its racist sheriff and his crew of similarly bigoted acolytes, all of whom have a knack for violence and share a gruesome secret pertaining to missing young Black men. When they set their sights on Unique and turn his life upside down, the former soldier has no choice but to bring the ruckus down on the sheriff and his goons. Hell hath no fury like a veteran scorned (and armed with a sword).
Tapping into his own teen years spent in Ohio, Wu-Tang Clan mastermind and all-around badass RZA combines the deeply personal with the unabashedly exploitation-minded for One Spoon of Chocolate, a brutal action throwback with plenty on its mind beyond just cracked skulls and severed limbs — although there’s a delightful surplus of both on display here.
