Triple 9 Movie Review: A Boring Stupid Ride
AUSSIE DIRECTOR John Hillcoat did a good job in “Lawless”, a film about an illegal moonshine business during the Prohibition Era starring Tom Hardy. So we’re expecting his new work, “Triple 9”, will similarly be fine. A movie about dirty cops, “Triple 9” is the code for “officer down”, meaning a policeman is hit so all other cops go to the area where the stricken cop is situated to rescue him.

The bad cops are not after the bank’s money but a safety deposit box ordered from them by Russian mob boss, Irina (Kate Winslet, who sports a Russian accent and an attitude). They succeed but she won’t pay them unless they do another job for her: a second heist involving the Homeland Security building. To pull this off, they plan to kill a cop to distract all other police officers so they can freely do the second heist.
