Critics Consensus

Triple 9's pulpy potboiler thrills don't quite live up to the ferocious talents of its cast, but the film's efficient, solidly crafted genre fun is often enough to balance its troublesome flaws.

At the end of the day, stories need to be about characters, not types. While nothing that ought to inspire a letter writing campaign from the ADL,"Triple 9" fails to make it past shorthand.

The real screen stealer in Triple 9 is Clifton Collins Jr., as the quietly diabolical, dirty detective Rodriguez. He is a reason why this film will keep you glued to your seat.

It's the kind of crooked cop film that will likely wind up on a random list of 100 Crooked Cop Movies compiled in no ranking order... in the next few years. It's that derivative.

'Triple 9' honors the esteemed tradition of American crime films, tipping its hat hither and thither to the greats that preceded it, creating a circus of variably intriguing characters to smash into one another along the way.

That's what makes Triple 9 more disappointing than anything else; it's not a bad movie, but "not bad" shouldn't be good enough here...

Triple 9 probably won’t go down as one of the great heist films on par with Die Hard or The Italian Job, but it might.

Triple 9 (2016) boasts one of the most impressive ensemble casts in modern crime thrillers, but it struggles to maximize its incredible potential. Directed by John Hillcoat, the film delivers gritty, intense action sequences and a very dark, cynical atmosphere. The central premise—corrupt cops planning an officer-down code to pull off a heist for the Russian mob—is a great hook. Unfortunately, the screenplay is overly convoluted, stuffing too many subplots and characters into the narrative. The result is a film that often leaves viewers confused and asking what exactly is going on. While the stellar cast and punchy action make it an entertaining, passable watch for fans of the genre, its messy execution prevents it from being a truly great crime epic.

This movie is completely filled with recognizable actors. I had very high hopes for it. But it didn’t deliver at all. The acting was good. But I couldn’t get invested in the plot. Extremely disappointing. If you decide to watch it, you’ll see what I mean
