Movie Review Triple 9 2016 Film

A relentless dirty cop thriller drenched in a sulphurous atmosphere of corruption and dread, Triple 9 is like a drill that just keeps boring down deeper into your skull for two hours. Director John Hillcoat stages some spectacular crime sequences in ways that seem like announcements that he's prepared to assume the mantel of big-scale action maestro from Michael Mann, and the stellar cast offers constant stimulation. All the same, the venal duplicity of many of the characters here becomes unrelentingly depressing, as does the eventual feeling of being overwhelmed by pervasive nihilism. But based on its kinetic excitement and performances that sparkle in the dark, this Open Road release should attract an ample audience with a taste for tough guys and hard action.
