What to Know

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.

Jordan Hoffman Times of Israel 02/01/2018
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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... Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Boasting a stellar top-shelf cast of dedicated, yet mismatched parts, "Triple 9" does its best to battle treacherous flaws. Go to Full Review

Ashequl I @Tofa13 2d 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.

Bottom live is I didn't detestable it I wouldn't recommend it either. 🤷🏼‍♂️ See more HotRod D @HotRodD Jan 12 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 See more Stoner J @Stoner Dec 11 Sure it’s loaded with cliche's, but Triple 9 is still a very entertaining crime thriller See more Jack F @MovieFan111 Nov 19 I love the cover. But when I watched it, the cover scene was only one small part. Literally rather than the cover, I hated this movie. Both during and after, I still don't know what triple 9 means, and I'm too lazy to even look it up. Had this movie been something completely different, it could have been awesome.
