Triple Frontier

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...

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

But it seems to be almost wasted. Or as another reviewer put it: Great potential, unused. I would add though "slightly" - because it's not that the talent is not being used. There is quite a bit to love here, like the action sentiment, some of the character motivation and some of the general depiction of Army but more importantly politics and corruption.

But it does have threads it opens that it leaves just laying there. It's a bit annoying and would have been more satisfying if it would concentrate on certain things. The ending is not really helpful by being overly dramatic and completely ... well it may be realistic to a degree but it doesn't really make much sense. You can show respect and brotherhood in other ways ... or maybe I'm just a cynic? Whatever teh case, this is decent but still has quite a lot of flaws

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!

Focusing on an "illegal" mission to steal a drug lord's fortune, Triple Frontier (2019) initially appears to be more than just your typical heist movie. In setting up an assassination plot against a violent and oppressive criminal, things start to look especially interesting when it is revealed that our heroes' motivations are essentially based on greed.

Yet the promise of an interrogation of the human soul is never truly paid off as the film broadly shirks the moral investigation with which it flirts. This is not to say there aren't numerous situations in which our heroes ostensibly become anti-heroes. However, as much as their behaviour is morally dubious, the filmmakers have taken pains to make the central characters empathetic.

There is some great action and genuine suspense during the second Act amid the heist proper. There are even some would-be iconic scenes which are the result of some genuine craft from all concerned.

Yet with a great cast and a promising setup, the film is ultimately less than the sum of its parts. In the end, Triple Frontier is wholly forgettable.
