It’s been 21 years since Nia Long and Omar Epps first appeared on our screens when the two starred In the deep (LL Cool J’s portrayal of drug dealer Dwayne Gittens still gives me the creeps.)
But the two actors meet in Netflix’s predictable but completely satisfying thriller Fatal issue. The film sees the two friends from college who meet decades later in life. When David (Epps) tests Ellie (Long) after taking too many drinks one night, he discovers that he is not only crazy as hell, but also dangerous. Now she has to protect her husband (Stephen Bishop) and her daughter from this man who is determined to ruin their lives.
“You’re going to yell at your TV screens,” Epps admitted when ESSENCE met the co-stars earlier this week.
“I hope that all of our faithful followers who have supported us both on this journey as black artists, I hope that they come to their living rooms and see Fatal issueLong added.
Fatal issue, which was also produced by Long by executives, is now broadcast on Netflix.
