Review of Triple 9

My first thought when I saw what this was about was that this was a lot like Armored with Columbus Short and Matt Dillon. This one however has a lot of A listers. This has a pretty great director as well. John Hillcoat directed The Road with Viggo Mortensen as well as Lawless. This is Matt Cook's only credit so far. Ah very smart with the accents and such. Oh so the red is only in the beginning. I was hoping it would be a constant theme. Norman Reedus is playing the older brother for once. It's hard to believe he is almost freaking 50 years old. That's an interesting front for disguise. "Instagoogletweetface" hahaha. A little feel of Training Day now. Oh dang! So uncool. That's disturbing and definitely not something that would Americans feel comfortable living near. I was wondering if and who were all cops. Oh they're related. That is sure change some things up. Oh my I did not realize that was who Michael K. Williams would be playing. Damn that was a crazy shoot out. I mean was that really necessary? I guess so all things considered. I can't take Kate Winslet as the villain here very seriously. Whoa I did not see that coming! Well that was brutal. I had sort of a feeling that would happen. Uh oh that's not good. What the hell!? I definitely wasn't expecting that. The ending was decent, but it felt a little weak. This had a bit of The Departed and Sabotage mixed in with it. I honestly didn't see how or when something was going to happen. Despite the cast and the directing I felt the writing was a bit weak. Don't get me wrong it had some really great moments, but they were far and in between. There was also way too much going on with all the little sub-stories. It did have some great twists and turns though.
