“Yardie” is a film adaptation of the popular 1992 Black British pulp fiction novel by Jamaican-British Arthur, Victory Headly. The film follows Dennis “D” ( Aml Ameen) as a young boy in 1970s Jamaica who rises to the top of the streets in 1980s London and becomes hell-bent on avenging the death of his older brother Jerry Dread (Everaldo Creary.) This gripping crime drama is Idris Elba’s directorial debut.
