Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother will make you forget all about Marvel’s Blade disaster
The Verge reviews the new hitman thriller 'Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother,' directed by Bassam Tariq and starring Mahershala Ali. The film is presented as a compelling character study that stands out from typical action franchises.
Why it matters
It highlights a significant creative pivot for talent previously attached to a high-profile, cancelled Marvel project.

There was a great actor in place to play the vampire hunter (Mahershala Ali), and a promising director set to take over the reins (Bassam Tariq). In retrospect, though, the disappointing demise of Blade might not be such a bad thing, because Tariq and Ali have collaborated on something much more interesting than a superhero reboot: the powerful hitman thriller Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother.
