The filmmaker behind LOWLIFE now takes multiple bites out of crime.

NIGHT PATROL (no relation to the same-titled Jackie Kong comedy) is coming exclusively to theaters January 16 from RLJE Films and Shudder. Directed by Ryan Prows from a script he wrote with Shaye Ogbonna, Tim Cairo and Jake Gibson, it stars Jermaine Fowler (THE BLACKENING), Justin Long (BARBARIAN), RJ Cyler, Freddie Gibbs, CM Punk, YG, Flying Lotus, Dermot Mulroney, Jon Oswald and Nicki Micheaux. The synopsis: “An LAPD officer must put aside his differences with the area’s street gangs when he discovers a local police task force is harboring a horrific secret that endangers the residents of the housing projects he grew up in.”
