TRIPLE 9 Director: John Hillcoat Starring: Chiwetel Ejiofor, Anthony Mackie, Casey Affleck, Woody Harrelson, Kate Winslet, Norman Reedus, Aaron Paul, Teresa Palmer, Gal Gadot, Clifton Collins, Jr, Michael Kenneth Williams A thrilling bank heist can be the perfect way to start a film. It’s an easy choice, but when it’s done well, it never gets old. The Dark Knight and Dog Day Afternoon utilize this very concept perfectly. Triple 9 kicks things into high gear from the get go with a group of five men (Paul, Reedus, Mackie, Ejiofor, and Collins) pulling off the heist, each one having their own role in the job, asRead More →
