Leave your thoughts about Triple Frontier.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperFrom the direction to the script to the production elements to the performances, Triple Frontier is a first-class ride. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliAn unconventional heist film in which a majority of the action occurs after the loot has been liberated, Triple Frontier features impeccable photography, strong acting, and well-staged action scenes that ooze tension. |
| Total FilmJamie GrahamThis is the anti-Heat: no sheen, no shimmer, no obsessing over highly grandiose themes and precise compositions; just grime and desperation. |
| Screen InternationalTim GriersonThe shifting loyalties and treacherous power plays that go on in Triple 9 are engaging, but Hillcoat especially shines in a series of three taut life-or-death sequences — one at the start of the film, one near the middle, and one at the end — that articulate more about who these characters are than anything they say. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonIt’s Affleck, as a cop whose skills are criminally underestimated, who makes the biggest impression. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversSomewhere along the road of development hell, the movie settled for delivering standard-issue jolts for jocks. |
| Arizona RepublicKerry LengelIt’s a movie that maybe tries to do too much, but it does enough of it well to keep you glued to the screen. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranTriple Frontier is a solid, engrossing genre item with designs on being something more. It doesn’t quite get there but it does well enough along the way to make the journey worth taking. |
| The PlaylistRodrigo PerezChandor crafts a film in that contemplated vein of consequences, with a moral consideration for everything at stake, including the very souls of these soldiers, No one comes out clean. |
| Time Out LondonTom HuddlestonThere may be little here we haven’t seen before – glassy reflections of Michael Mann’s Heat pop up everywhere you look – but it’s all carried off with brashness and momentum by a director who genuinely seems to be having a blast. |
