Triple Frontier

This was a good movie. Good acting. I'm not a professional reviewer by any means. But this movie keep me going until the end. I was invested. I wanted to know what was going to happen. This is not your typical Hollywood storyline. You can't guess what's going to happen because it's highly unpredictable. And that unpredictability makes it a worthwhile watch. I've watched several movies that are rated higher than this one that weren't nearly as good. Watch this movie!

Five ex-military veterans reunite to rip off a drug lord, but like every other robbery in movie history, it does not go as planned. Despite a sturdy premise, "Triple Frontier" is curiously inert, shallow and un-involving. Despite a strong cast (Affleck, Isaac, Hunnam, Pascal and Hedlund) it feels like the characters are flimsy and inconsistent. The most tension filled scene is the robbery itself, which surprisingly happens early on into the run time. The length of the film is also a bit challenging at times and seems to drag on. As a result, it is a film that is competently made so you are not really seeing a bad film 'per se', but then it is also an uninspired film, so you won't see anything that goes above mediocre for most of its run time. It felt like there was a lot of potential here, but somewhere along the way it got lost and we ended up with its shadow instead.

Rating: 6+

The movie started very nicely, built the plot, the suspense, the characters, however very soon with some lame turns the main interest went South. The cast is great. All of them are renowned, top notch actors. This might be a very good movie but unfortunately I m sure it lost the audiences attention right after the heist was made. I mean you don't expect those amaetur movies from a special op soldiers..

The reviews and rating are misleading. This isnt your usual Friday evening action film with predictable plot and cheesy dialogues. The casting itself should tell you that. It was a pleasure watching all the 6 leads in the film.

The movie from start to finish is well executed and well thought out. Every actor is utilised to his capacity. You can keep guessing how it turns out but you will not be right, it simply doesnt follow the usual Hollywood trope. It isnt worth every accolade out there but is sure is a decent Friday night film with popcorn, just with a tad more depth. The movie itself is well paced out and executed. Save it for a Friday night popcorn film but with more depth than Fast & Furious franchise. I have to say however, the ending left a little more to be desired. But I still enjoyed the film nonetheless.

Take a chance on this film. 7/10

Loved the first half of the film great build and initail heist then it gradually got more and more ridiculous and laboured simultaneously to the point I struggle to keep interest the last half hour. About average overall like so many Netflix films before it...
