Bassam Tariq and Mahershala Ali finally made their “Blade” movie.

On Saturday night, “Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother” made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival before its theatrical release on Sept. 25. Tariq’s film centers on Latif (Ali), a devout Muslim hitman who, following the sudden death of his wife, goes on the run with his teenage daughter (Adia, a revelation), 10-year-old son (Jahleel Kamara) and newborn baby on the hunt for breast milk and after running afoul of not only his boss but also Hwan (an unrecognizable John Cho), the gun-toting leader of an anti-pornography Christian cult.
