About This Movie

Split Lip is a gritty dive into the violent underbelly of contract killers, where every misstep has dire consequences. Doreé Seay, played with a cold intensity, becomes ensnared in a web of betrayal and survival after a single mistake. The pacing is relentless, keeping you on edge, while the practical effects provide a raw authenticity to the action sequences. There's a dark atmosphere that hangs over the whole film, accentuated by the tension between Doreé and her former mentor, Karlton. Their cat-and-mouse dynamic elevates the stakes. The performances are solid, especially from DeJean Brown, who brings a menacing gravitas. It’s got that underground vibe that feels both familiar and fresh, making it distinct in its own right.
