Nefarious Movie Cast, Plot and Everything to Know

The first line, "Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin," comes from the Bible, specifically the Book of Daniel. It carries the meaning of "Numbered, numbered, weighed, divided." The subsequent lines: "Autem stultus es" translates to "However, you are foolish" in English. "Autem" means "however" or "but," and "stultus" means "foolish," while "es" is the second person singular form of the verb "to be" in Latin. "Ut non comprehendias" means "So that you may not understand" in English. "Ut" translates to "so that" or "in order that," "non" means "not," and "comprehendias" is the second person singular present subjunctive form of the verb "to comprehend" or "to understand." "Continuendum est" translates to "It must be continued" in English. "Continuendum" is the neuter gerundive form of the verb "to continue," and "est" means "it is" or "it must be." A possible interpretation is: "Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin. However, you are foolish so that you may not understand. It must be continued."

The movie was based on the book "A Nefarious Plot" by Steve Deace.

Nefarious actor Jordan Belfi confirmed in an interview with Digital Journal that shooting for the film was shot in Oklahoma City.
