That is a shame. I hope whichever studio head or producer decided to go with Tyler Perry instead of Idris Elba is kicking himself in the bum now.
Was Matthew Fox entertaining at least?
A Force of One (1979)
Even for me the 'plot' of this movie is preposterous. An undercover narcotics squad are being picked off one by one "by karate!" (Actual cause of death as stated in the film). So the cops go learn karate at Chuck Norris' gym so they wont be killed by karate. But little does Chuck Norris know he's more involved in the case than he thought!
If David Fincher wants to do another serial killer film, he should try remaking this one.

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if Elba headed for the hills the moment he read the screenplay, he was best off out of this as while Perry is crappy in it, he wasn't the biggest problem.
Not really, you can tell he had a vision for his assassin but he was given nothing but cheesy cliche's to spout and absolutely no back story to explain his ticks or obsessions.
This inspired me to check out the trailer, Chuck Norris looking like a 70's porn star, that cute detective chick and the karate killer? I must see this!![]()

That is true. Maybe that's why they were stuck with Perry. All the other prominent black actors probably ran off.![]()
