Animal (2005)

In the gritty underbelly of the city, the notorious gangster known as James "Animal" Allen reigns supreme. But when his kingdom of violence crumbles, and he's thrown behind bars, his young son, Darius, is left adrift in a sea of danger. His mother's untimely assassination leaves him orphaned and alone, destined to navigate the treacherous waters of street life. In the unforgiving world of corruption and crime, Darius finds himself following in his father's perilous footsteps. In the heart of the prison's dark abyss, Animal finds himself under the wings of the formidable Kassada, a powerful player in the prison's hierarchy. But his life takes an unexpected turn when he crosses paths with Berwell, a seasoned revolutionary whose wisdom and ideology challenge Animal's view of his existence. This encounter sparks a transformation in Animal, reshaping his perspective of life and his place in it. Years later, Animal steps back into the world, a hardened ex-convict now yearning for redemption and a life away from his infamous past. His newfound freedom, however, is overshadowed by the chilling realization that his son, Darius, has entrenched himself in the very life of crime Animal has fought to escape. Haunted by the gangster legacy he himself has built, Animal is thrust into a desperate struggle to save his son from the vicious cycle of crime and violence. His past and fame loom ominously over him as he grapples with the consequences of his actions, and the daunting task of dismantling the empire of crime he once erected. But can a man known for his savagery truly turn a new leaf, or is he destined to remain an 'Animal' in the cruel jungle of life?
