23rd Psalm: Redemption

Five years have passed and Luther still blames Detective John Smith for destroying his life, as John had helped convict Luther on a murder charge. After being denied parole, Luther, along with two goons, escapes from prison. John, now married, is a minister and stepfather to an adolescent girl. Seeking revenge, Luther and his goons break into John's house and hold his family hostage. John makes a harrowing attempt to coax Luther to do the right thing - but will he do it?

Directed by Cornelius Booker III, Christopher C. Odom, 23rd Psalm: Redemption leans on a strong ensemble — Tatyana Ali, Clifton Powell, Leslie Mills — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2013.
