Triple 9

Combination of wrong path and untrustworthy troop.

This should have been the Holywood's bad boys film. I mean the big cast names are expected like the earlier films of QT, or especially like 'The Departed'. There were many who dropped out of it for various reasons prior to the production commence, although this cast did a great job. In my finding I blame for the screenplay. It was a good story, but the first half was not very interesting compared to the next half, which was so brilliant, especially towards the end, mind blowing.

It was a multi starrer film, only that's much I know, but I kind lazy to count how many were there because I thought it was a modernised and an improvised cop version of the 'Ten Little Indians' theme. There...

An okay movie with some very impressive visual flourishes, but a narrative mess, and not up to par with Director Joh Hillcoat's prior work.

Final rating:½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didnt quite work as a whole.

This is my second viewing and didn't enjoy it as much the first go around, which was back in '16. While it has a stacked cast giving mostly good performances, though never bought Kate Winslet as anyone to be dangerous or to be feared, but the biggest letdown was with the screenplay which could've been tighter and had better focus. This seemed to be a cross between Heat and Dark Blue but lacked the suspense, crime or drama of either one. I think in the hands of Michael Mann or Ridley Scott might've made some of the style compensate for what the script but instead it was watchable but forgettable. 3.0/5
