Journey to the End of the Night

The father Sinatra (Scott Glenn) lives with Angie (Catalina Sandino Moreno) and Sinatra’s son Paul (Brendan Fraser) who is also in love with Angie. He plans an escape from the crime scenes of Sao Paulo after he manages to work a drug deal engineered by his father. The sale is to Nigerians who speak Yoruba and when the 'messenger' meant to pass the drugs for the money abruptly dies in a brothel with a transgender prostitute, the panic begins: who can make the pass that night? Sinatra hires a Nigerian, Yoruba speaking dishwasher Wemba (Mos Def) who agrees to take the drugs to the drop site and it seems Wemba is the only decent character to keep his word. Paul is enraged with the death of the original middleman and ends up disfiguring the prostitute present at his death. The drug deal falls into problems, Paul is unable to convince Angie to stand by him and things boil down ultimately with the only persons to care about are Angie and Wemba.
