With a cast this fantastic and a director as talented as Hillcoat you would think Triple 9 would be a home run, unfortunately it isn't but it is still a film that is worth your time.
Triple 9 follows a group of criminals and corrupt cops who have are being blackmailed by the Russian Mafia. After doing a job for the mafia, the mafia demand another job done which is near impossible unless they pull off a Triple 9, which is the police code, for an 'officer down'. The story is very engaging, starting off with an exciting, engaging heist pulled off by the criminals we are following which sets the film up very well that remains interesting through-out, if not slightly predictable.

Triple 9 was a good film that i'm glad i watched, but couldn't help thinking that it could've been much more with a bit of a longer running time to flesh out some of the secondary characters, when you have a cast this big and are depending on them all to develop the story, the characters need to be firing on all cylinders which unfortunately they don't.
7.2/10
