Review of Triple Frontier (2019) by Ravenridermedia — 02 Aug 2017

With the exception of some bad dialogue throughout the film, Triple 9 is an impressively made and very well acted crime thriller. John Hilcoat's direction and the performances given by the leads raises this from a mediocre "Cops vs Crooks" action movie, to an intense, suspenseful thriller with great action sprinkled throughout the film.

The biggest problems I could pin-point was that the narrative itself was mostly unfocused during the first half (and a little bit into the second half) of the film. And, as previously stated, There is quite a bit of dialogue is mediocre if not bad.

I wouldn't say that Triple 9 is a great film, but I do think it is very good. Hilcoat's direction is tight and meticulous, the leads have really good chemistry with one another, the score by Atticus Ross is great, and the film almost always has a layer of suspense or tension from scene to scene.
