Yardie is a 2018 British crime drama film directed by Idris Elba, in his feature directorial debut, and starring Aml Ameen, Shantol Jackson, Stephen Graham, Fraser James, Sheldon Shepherd, and Everaldo Creary.
Tired of the violence and destruction in the streets, Jerry Dread organises a DJ session between the two gangs' territories, hoping to broker peace.
The peace is quickly shattered when Jerry Dread is shot and killed by Clancy Hibbert, one of D's classmates and an aspiring gang member.
D arrives in London but hesitates to make the delivery after hearing Rico flippantly insult his late brother.
Yvonne had long fled to London with her and D's daughter Vanessa to escape the violence in Kingston; she does not welcome D's presence, but agrees to let him stay.
That night, as D takes up Sticks' place in the DJ group for a concert at Rico's nightclub, Yvonne tells him what Clancy told her and begs him not to go, but is rebuffed.
The site's critical consensus reads "Yardie proves debuting director Idris Elba has a distinctive eye that benefits from a strong personal connection to his material, even if the end results are somewhat uneven.
