Director: Michael Jai White
When masked crews start hitting the same floating dice games night after night, two operators decide the only fix is to bring in muscle nobody wants to cross.
What is Trouble Man about?
Trouble Man, a 2025 crime drama directed by and starring Michael Jai White, opens with a string of robberies targeting the illegal floating craps games run by two operators known as Chalky and Pete. Fed up with losing money to masked hold-up men, the pair hire a composed, formidable fixer to shut the problem down and restore order to their underground operation. As the investigation into who is behind the heists deepens, alliances shift and the line between protecting a business and settling old scores starts to blur. The film pairs White's screen presence with rapper-actor Method Man, La La Anthony, Orlando Jones, Levy Tran, and Mike Epps, blending street crime plotting with the kind of dry, confident humor that runs through White's other directing work.
