Review of Triple 9 (2016) by Jkelz — 28 Feb 2016

Triple 9 was one of my most anticipated movies of 2016. The cast was definitely amazing and the trailers did just enough to make it a must see in theaters. After seeing the movie I thought the movie fell short of what it appeared the trailers suggested and I would think that most critics and movie goers felt the same exact way as I.

Triple 9 came off as a heist thriller movie that was going to deliver a lot of action and thrills based on the trailers. What we got instead was a very character driven movie with the heist being more of a subplot of the movie.

Character driven is not a bad thing when you consider how strong the cast is. The acting was amazing enough to have me engaged the entire movie. It really had the feel of Training Day which landed Denzel Washington an Oscar.

The only problem with that is their was really no one in the movie that was as engaging as Denzel despite the great acting. With that said I was engaged the entire movie as the story itself was interesting enough to keep me locked into the movie.

At the end of the day if you liked Training Day *which I loved) you will enjoy this movie. Corrupt cops that got caught up to deep in their own corruption.....will they survive or not; finding out was definitely worth the price of admission in my opinion.
