Overview
A killer cast play cops and robbers in a down and dirty crime thriller set on the mean streets of LA. Triple 9 — a film whose script once earned a spot on the legendary Black List of the best unproduced screenplays in Hollywood — stars Casey Affleck, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Anthony Mackie and Norman Reedus as a group of crooked cops trapped in the web of the Russian mob. Throw in Woody Harrelson as an embittered detective and Academy Award winner Kate Winslet as a ruthless crim, and you can see why we've been looking forward to it for a while.
Australian director John Hillcoat is no slouch either, having demonstrated his gift for adapting grim, compelling subject matter in earlier films like The Proposition and The Road. Just don't expect many laughs.
