SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

edohanclasen The plot and cast of Triple 9 held much potential but did not deliver as expected. The film follows a group of highly skilled criminals that execute action packed heists. The major revelation is that two of these criminals are policemen. Apart from that, the story does not hold much suspense and revelation. Michael Atwood (Chiwetel Ejiofor) is forced by Irina Vlaslov (Kate Winslet), a criminal kingpin, to do these jobs by threatening Atwood with the safety of his son (not something new). The story unravels as they plan the 'final' heist where, as expected, everything goes wrong. There is some parts of the film which I enjoyed. However, with such an all-star cast, it did not live up to the expectation.

toddg-473-289818 A group of corrupt police officers in Atlanta are on the hook to steal for the Russian mob, with each of them engaging with their own ever shifting lines of morality. One cop's son is used as a pawn by the son's mother, who is the sister of the Russian mob boss trying to get her husband out of a Russian prison. Follow that so far? Yep, it's pretty convoluted. As far as the casting, Aaron Paul as a useless junkie wasn't a good move. It is hard to feel sympathetic for his character, and you find yourself just wanting him out of the way as the movie progresses. Refreshing was a barely recognizable Kate Winslet as the Russian mob matriarch, and Casey Affleck not playing his usual morose type of character. Also, Woody Harrelson does a great job as Casey Affleck's uncle, an alcoholic detective on his last legs, but still with keen police instincts and the desire to protect his nephew's life and career as a young officer.

cinemajesty Film Review: "Triple 9" (2016)This highly unsettling cop-thriller directed by John Hillcoat, known for decisive somehow incomplete looks on the world that surround us nearby, but never failing to polarize, since his breakthrough feature "The Proposition" (2005), a neo-western starring actor Guy Pearce as unruly outlaw Charlie Burns; the same with "Triple 9", where shifting character perspectives keeps the spectre on the heels what is to expect by a den of metropolitan cops, set in urban Atlanta, Georgia, who get pressured by character Michael Atwood, portrayed by actor Chiwetel Ejiojor in a risky constant mood shifting fashion, when the nemesis police officer Chris Allen arrives on the scene, performed by stability and focus-bringing actor Casey Affleck, to unfold a heist-taking bunch of police officer, contracted by Michael, who has been deeply tight up with the Russian Mafia owning Hebrew Kosher Nostra; rulingly and surprisingly performances by actresses Kate Winslet and Gal Gadot, as underworld roving sisters' couple, who keep their heads clear, when all other members of an demanding ensemble cast surrounding also Woody Harrelson as an arguable good cop, Anthony Mackie as bad cop and actor Aaron Paul as the character of undercover police officer Gabe Welch, who portrays a complete destruction of losing one's nerves under pressure, when the gritty highly realistic image system of further drug-sedated cops, abducted waterpark-seduced children, capturing a whole world blown up in smoke and narcotics toward the title-given police code of "999" - officer down - pushes the suspense to mind-twisting heights at the running time marker 1h 21mins 00sec in an original script by Matt Cook of unexpected revelations, making "Triple 9" a cop-thriller open for revisits.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

jhnachos Triple 9 is a movie that has mostly been forgotten. It did poor at the box office, got mixed reviews and didn't do enough to get major attention, but this is one the critics were a bit too harsh on. Triple 9 is by no means a masterpiece, but it is none the less thrilling, suspenseful and mostly well done. The film is set in Atlanta where a group of criminals attempts to pull of a huge heist and part of that heist is getting the police to all be drawn to a code 999, officer down. The plot itself is rather interesting and is a main reason for keeping viewer attention and interest to the story. The cast is great all around. Woody Harrelson might come off as a bit over the top, but he was none the less entertaining. The cast does a great job even with the script being just, fine. It isn't an awful script, but there issues with pacing that stand out, but they aren't enough to truly affect the scenes that transpire throughout. The direction is pretty great for the whole film. All action scenes are very well done with a ton of suspense and the violence is very much a strong addition. The violence may be too much for some, but I thought it was done very well. The editing during these action scenes was pretty excellent, the opening heist was my favorite part of the movie and that was helped by the solid editing and crisp direction. The editing during dialogue scenes was not as good, but also not enough to take me out of the movie. Although some scenes might not be as necessary as other's nothing felt severely out of a place. If the actions scenes weren't as excellent as they are these issues might stand out more.Overall, Triple 9 is no Ocean's Eleven or Reservoir Dogs, but is a great film, with several great moments of tense action, strong performances and solid direction. There are issues with the script and editing during dialogue scenes wasn't the best, but in the end I would be lying if I said I didn't think Triple 9 was a great movie that I think got less praise than it deserved. Again this is not a perfect film, but it's definitely better than the okay movie the critics made it to be.
