Production

In February 2011, Variety announced that 50 Cent will play a lead role in the film. He will star as the "son of a slain NYPD officer who joins the force and welcomed by his father's former partner into the ranks of his vice crime task force—and on to a team of rogue Gotham cops".

A month later, Deadline reported that Robert De Niro and Forest Whitaker had joined the film. Variety announced in May 2011 that Dana Delany would play a lead female role. 50 Cent said that he felt compassion for his character despite the character's ambiguous morality. That and other aspects of the film from which he could identify his own experiences drew him to the project.
