Triple 9

[projekktor id=’23224′]

Triple 9 is a crime drama directed by John Hillcoat (Lawless, The Road). It stars a large ensemble cast featuring Casey Affleck, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Anthony Mackie, Aaron Paul, Clifton Collins, Jr., Norman Reedus, Teresa Palmer, Michael K. Williams, Gal Gadot, Woody Harrelson, and Kate Winslet.

Ex-Special Forces member MICHAEL ATWOOD (Chiwetel Ejiofor) leads a crew of corrupt police officers and former soldiers (Anthony Mackie, Clifton Collins Jr., Aaron Paul and Norman Reedus) in a daring bank robbery that ends in a frenzied freeway shootout. When ruthless Russian-Israeli mob boss IRINA VLASLOV (Kate Winslet) strong-arms the crew into attempting one last, seemingly impossible robbery, they decide their best hope is to divert the entire police force’s attention by staging a “999” incident — cop code for “officer down.”

“I’d been looking at a lot of crime thrillers, and what really intrigued me about Matt’s script was the ‘999’ idea, which I’d never heard of before,” Hillcoat says. “The code raises this great moral dilemma in this genre of cops and criminals which has generated so much material. Matt had this gem of an idea that provided a fresh approach to that world.”

Triple 9 is rated 18A.
