“It is easier to talk about forgiveness and mercy when it’s not your loss” this statement made by Mark Ruffalo casting as Tom made it opening in the movie trailer.

The crime movie made in 7 series is set to be released in the United States of America on the 7th of September, 2025 has made it to the screen creating feeling of anticipation from the viewer
Nothing less has been expected from the creator of Mare of Easttown and this movie is not an exemption.

Plot:

An unknown family man, Tom Pelpheny, casting as Robbie, has been taking a turn by turn to cause violent robberies which was beginning to cause nuisance and loss of lives too, and the task force who couldn’t bear the loss any longer took it upon themselves to put a stop to it by all means. To this they put an FBI agent, Mark Ruffalo casting as Tom in charge of this robbery case.

The scenes opened more to seeing Robbie, a family man who in no way takes his family for granted, desperate to make money by all means to take good care of his family, his children especially. But wearing masks behind the scenes and being a responsible father and husband at the same time was too much of a man like him to sign up for.

His wife who couldn’t trust him again and who at a time couldn’t bear the betrayal and had to stay away from him – this caused emotional trauma on him which made his efforts behind the masks became worse, because to him – it is family first.

Or the FBI agent, Tom who is trying so hard to balance his life, work and a family to take of got the lead to investigate a house invasion that has been happening for too long.

The scenes opened showed more of fight, tears, loss of loved ones, betrayal, emotional trauma and repentance.

But the questions left unanswered…
Would Robbie fix his family?
Would Tom make an arrest even when he seems to find out the reason behind Robbie wearing a mask?

Characters:

Mark Ruffalo casting as Tom and FBI agent is a wonderful actor, and everyone who has seen this trailer is looking forward to seeing him deliver more than he used to.
Casting as Tom and FBI agent, Mark wore the mark of regrets regardless of his job – having to spend time with and for his family made it difficult to fill the gap even when he seemed to give it a try.

Tom Pelpheny casting as Robbie is also seen as a major character after Tom, his role in the movie pushed too many questions left to be answered. His responsibility as a father and husband was overwhelming, bearing the flag of a family man who ought to provide and stand for his family turned out to be the opposite as the mask in maintaining his dream family life began to unveil.

There’s also Emilia Jones casting as Maeve and other actors who made this trailer worth it.

Music and Sound:

No too much sound and music were used though. Just one that played throughout the scenes and aligned with each character and actions.

The background music Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd played high and slow till the scenes faded away.

If you are a fan of crime movies, get ready to take a seat and grab your popcorn this September.

When three women’s pasts collide in a story of survival and justice, the result is a film you won’t forget. 3 Cold Dishes, premiering on November 7, 2025, brings together a Pan-African cast, multiple countries, and a story that’s as intense as it is personal.

A Story of Survival and Retribution

Esosa (Osas Ighodaro), Fatouma (Fat Toure), and Giselle (Maud Guerard) were trafficked as teenagers from Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire, and Benin. Two decades later, they reunite to confront the men who destroyed their youth. The film follows their calculated journey for justice, moving between suspenseful confrontations, emotional reckonings, and unexpected alliances. It is a thriller, but one rooted in real struggles that many African women face.

Across Africa, Through the Lens

The film’s striking imagery comes from its authentic locations: Nigeria, Côte d’Ivoire, Benin, Senegal, and Mauritania. Each country is more than a backdrop; it shapes the story. From the bustling streets of Lagos to the serene landscapes of Senegal, the locations add texture, grounding the film in real African spaces that viewers will recognize and connect with.

Cast and Crew That Shine

Directed by Asurf Oluseyi and co-directed by Apolline Traoré, 3 Cold Dishes is driven by performances that linger long after the screen goes dark. Osas Ighodaro gives a layered portrayal of Esosa, while Fat Toure and Maud Guerard bring depth and subtlety to Fatouma and Giselle. Wale Ojo, Femi Jacobs, and Bambadjan Bamba add gravitas to the story, portraying the men whose past actions come back to haunt them.

Executive producers Burna Boy, Osas Ighodaro, and Bose Ogulu bring vision and energy, while Tomi Adesina’s screenplay balances suspense with the human side of trauma.

Music That Speaks

Music is a silent character in the film, with contributions from Angelique Kidjo, Asa, Tems, Johnny Drille, Ayra, and Burna Boy. Each track heightens key moments: a tense confrontation, a quiet reunion, or the flashbacks that haunt the protagonists. The result is a soundtrack that stays with viewers long after the credits roll.

Buzz Before the Premiere

Even before its debut, 3 Cold Dishes has caught attention. Osas Ighodaro received a nomination for Best African Actress, and the screenplay earned a nod at the Septimius Awards. The combination of suspense, real issues, and stellar performances has critics and audiences alike marking their calendars.

Why It Matters

3 Cold Dishes shines a light on the lingering impact of human trafficking while telling a story of courage, friendship, and reclamation. It is an African story told on an African canvas, with locations, actors, and music that make the experience distinctly homegrown.

For Nigerian audiences, the film offers more than entertainment. It sparks conversation, invites reflection, and reminds viewers of resilience. Keep an eye on cinemas nationwide, as 3 Cold Dishes is one you’ll be talking about long after leaving the theater.
