Please don't spend money on this.
Let's be realistic.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
A group of corrupt police officers in Atlanta are on the hook to steal for the Russian mob, with each of them engaging with their own ever shifting lines of morality. One cop's son is used as a pawn by the son's mother, who is the sister of the Russian mob boss trying to get her husband out of a Russian prison. Follow that so far? Yep, it's pretty convoluted. As far as the casting, Aaron Paul as a useless junkie wasn't a good move. It is hard to feel sympathetic for his character, and you find yourself just wanting him out of the way as the movie progresses. Refreshing was a barely recognizable Kate Winslet as the Russian mob matriarch, and Casey Affleck not playing his usual morose type of character. Also, Woody Harrelson does a great job as Casey Affleck's uncle, an alcoholic detective on his last legs, but still with keen police instincts and the desire to protect his nephew's life and career as a young officer.
The idea of bringing great stars together was not bad.Because it was the individual performance that kept the movie alive.I have not watch a complicated movie in the last decade that this title.It was difficult to truly understand the content and plot.Casting was also not great,character combination was awful.
Sometimes, you see a film advertised and you think 'How can this possibly fail?' Then, upon sitting through it, you wonder how the film-makers managed to make something that looked so awesome come across as so mediocre. And that's what 'Triple 9' is – mediocre. It's not bad. I didn't hate it. I just thought that, judging by the acting talent on display, that it should have been so much more special than what it actually was.It's about a squad of 'dirty' cops who, along with upholding the bits of the law that suit them, also help criminals rob banks. But, somewhere along the way they seemed to forget that criminals – being criminals – can't always be trusted to uphold their side of a bargain. Naturally, the gang they're working for want a little more than was originally offered and conflict arises.The reason Triple 9 looked so good was the cast of characters – anything with Norman Reedus (or 'Daryl' from The Walking Dead) and Aaron Paul (or 'Jessie' from Breaking Bad) can't be all bad, can it? Well, like I say, it's not all bad, it's just pretty forgettable. Apart from one scene that occurred around the middle of the film where the cops storm a drugs den – that's pretty intense and comes across as well researched as to how real police would undertake such an operation. However, it's been about a week since I watched Triple 9 and, apart from that and the meaning of the phrase 'Triple 9' itself, there really isn't that much I can remember about it. Or rather than the actors I really wanted to see in the film aren't in it as much as I'd hoped and, where they were, they were criminally underused.I know I'm being harsh. But it's just if you've seen as many 'cops and robbers' movies as I have over the years then you really need something very different to set one apart. And this one just didn't have what I was looking for. Yes, it's stylish and well-directed, plus you have the acting talent on offer and, if you're looking for realism then you'll find a fair amount of violence here. However, in the course of film history, I'm guessing that this will just be written off as yet another cops and robbers movie. Pity.
So last night I decided to make a couple of banana and blueberry smoothies, have a lazy night, and watch the movie Triple 9 with my dad. I remember when this film first came out, and I really wanted to see it. It has an amazing cast, the choreography and camera work look great, and overall it looked like a nice chill out and watch kind of flick. The criminals in this world can do pretty much, whatever they want, because the cops are the biggest criminals. The Israeli/Russian mob in Atlanta of all places, forces these cops to rob banks and do more ruthless acts of crime.The opening to this movie is off the chain. It has a bank-robbing scene, a car chase, a cool shoot out, great action scenes, and cinematography, and it is all done with so much style. This movie really does have amazing looking scenes, and this is a director (John Hillcoat) I was thinking could be a potential to direct a Batman movie.The beginning is awesome, but the movie slowly begins to fade away after that. It's like they blew their entire load in the beginning. Which I understand you want to start things off on a high note. But contain yourself, hold some of that load for later. Damn, that sounds weird. But I'm sure you get the picture. This movie does a real good job of making Atlanta look scary. Woody Harrelson, high off his ass and wearing a werewolf mask in Atlanta is enough to keep me away from Atlanta for a while put it that way. Even though my Granddad lives there oh well. When I'm not scared anymore, I'll come visit you. Don't blame me, blame Triple 9.Also, I thought it was cool how the movie kept calling them dirty cops, and some of the cast members who play cops look dirty, worn down, and grungy. To keep things simple, Aaron Paul pretty much plays the same character from Breaking Bad. He looks sweaty, grungy, drugged out, and really does portray his character as if he has been through a lot.The cast is my favorite part about this entire movie. But the movies biggest problem for me is I don't know who the protagonist is, and I can't relate to any of the characters. I love Casey Affleck as an actor. On the other hand, his character in this is very bland in my opinion. All I got from his character is that he chews bubble gum to look tough, and he is a newbie on this particular force. It's not that he is a weak actor, because he is not, it's the material that falls a little short. Chiwetel Ejiofor's character is the most well rounded out of everyone.Also, anyone who knows me, knows I love meh some good ol' Gal Gadot. Gal Gadot is starting to become one of my favorite actresses. She is lovely, tough, dedicated, seems very nice in person, and I think she has the potential to go down in film history, as a famous bad ass action female star, like Pam Grier and Sigourney Weaver. Unfortunately, her character is not very well developed, and she really does not have sh*t to do in this movie. I never thought I would say this about her, but you could have taken her out of the movie and it would have not made it any better or worse. This movie I feel like could have been a little bit more original. It feels like so many other movies and television shows we've seen before. Just to name some examples, this movie reminded me of Training Day, The Shield, The Town, and Street Kings.Overall, in my opinion, this film has a convoluted story, too many characters, it could have been more original, it does have great action, great cinematography, and I love this director. But the script could have had more structure to its surface. This is the kind of film where you see it playing on TV one day, you have nothing better to do, and you just watch it while doing something else. That doesn't mean it is terrible, because it is not. It's the kind of movie you can watch while preparing a banana and blueberry smoothie put it that way. I believe the film Triple 9 earns a 6 out of 10!Speaking of blowing a load early, I'm gonna blow a load a little early because I'm ready to check out of here. Thank you all for reading, and or viewing, and I hope you all have an amazing day as always. :)
