Leave your thoughts about Triple Threat.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperJust about every scene features an Oscar winner or an Oscar nominee or an Emmy winner and/or a first-rate character actor — and just about every scene is a bloody mix of taut thriller and utterly implausible noir plot point. This is a sordid but slick and gutsy mess that comes across like a cover-band version of a Michael Mann movie. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliTriple Nine turns out to be a thoroughly entertaining (although violent) thriller. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchCalvin WilsonIt’s Affleck, as a cop whose skills are criminally underestimated, who makes the biggest impression. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversTriple 9 is no "Reservoir Dogs," but it is a twisty, terrific ride. |
| Film ThreatAlan NgThe film boasts a sizeable effects budget too for some nice explosions, blood squirts, and bullet ballet. Sit back, disconnect, and have fun. Even with the lack of an A-List star, Triple Threat finds a way to stand on its own. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleTriple 9 is terrific melodrama, but it’s melodrama all the same, and shameless. |
| VarietyJustin ChangWell suited to Hillcoat’s gifts for low-boil suspense and brutal eruptions of violence in close, male-dominated quarters, the film has grit and atmosphere to burn but also a certain narrative sketchiness, as though unable to reconcile its sharp sociological portraiture with the pleasures of a more robustly plotted crime yarn. |
