Over the past few years, Tubi has quietly amassed a thriving collection of Black-led independent movies.
“Cinnamon” is the first Tubi premiere under the banner Black Noir Cinema, an initiative led by Village Roadshow Pictures.
It’s a nifty standard-bearer: a gas station attendant and aspiring singer, Jodi (Hailey Kilgore), and a pickpocket, Eddie (David Iacono), team up for an inside job.
The robbery becomes a self-own when someone from a local crime family — led by Pam Grier — gets killed in the process.
They lean hard on the gas station owner, Wally (Damon Wayans), and then zero in on Jodi and Eddie.
