Yardie (2018)

Immersed in the pulsating rhythms of '70s Kingston and the gritty underbelly of '80s Hackney, Yardie is an evocative journey into the life of D (Aml Ameen), a young Jamaican haunted by a childhood tragedy. The brutal murder of his elder brother, Jerry Dread (Everaldo Creary), has left an indelible scar on his soul, pushing him into the dark world under the tutelage of a notorious Kingston Don and music mogul, King Fox (Sheldon Shepherd). In an unexpected turn, Fox propels D to London, an alien city that rekindles his buried feelings. He stumbles upon his childhood love, Yvonne (Shantol Jackson), and the daughter he has never seen grow. He finds companionship in a vibrant soundclash crew, High Noon, but his past continues to shadow his present. Before he can shake off the chains of his criminal past and tread the path of righteousness, D confronts the ghost from his past - the man responsible for his brother's death a decade ago. This confrontation spirals into a violent, explosive quest for revenge, putting him at odds with the ruthless London gangster, Rico (Stephen Graham). Yardie is a thrilling saga of redemption and retribution, a labyrinth of emotions where past and present collide, and life-altering choices must be made.

Yardie is a crime movie featuring Aml Ameen and directed by Idris Elba.
