TRIPLE 9 RELEASE DATE: February 26, 2016 GENRE: Thriller, Drama MPAA RATING: R DISTRIBUTOR: Open Road Films CAST: Casey Affleck, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Anthony Mackie, Aaron Paul, Clifton Collins, Jr., Norman Reedus, Teresa Palmer, Michael K. Williams, Gal Gadot, Woody Harrelson, Kate Winslet DIRECTOR: John Hillcoat WRITER: Matt Cook PRODUCERS: Keith Redmon, Bard Dorros, Marc Butan, Anthony Katagas, Christopher Woodrow, John Hillcoat EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS: Steve Golin, Paul Green, Tom Ortenberg, Peter Lawson, Molly Connors, Maria Cestone, Sarah E. Johnson, Kimberly Fox, Isabel Dos Santos Official Facebook | Official Twitter | Official Instagram | Official Film Site
In TRIPLE 9, a crew of dirty cops is blackmailed by the Russian mob to execute a virtually impossible heist. The only way to pull it off is to manufacture a 999, police code for “officer down”. Their plan is turned upside down when the unsuspecting rookie they set up to die foils the attack, triggering a breakneck, action-packed finale filled with double-crosses, greed and revenge.
This week, I was drawn into the promise of Triple 9 by its cast. Everyone is in it. The film has an Academy Award winner and a few nominees in it. It has a cast member from TV’s The Walking Dead. Even Wonder Woman is in it. Take a look. Casey Affleck, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Anthony Mackie, Aaron Paul, Norman Reedus, Woody Harrelson, Kate Winslet, Clifton Collins, Jr., Michael K. Williams, Teresa Palmer, and Gal Gadot are all in this movie. How could it go wrong?
It wasn’t so much that the film went wrong, it was that it was entirely middle of the road. It gave me that “meh” feel to it. Blame the cast. With a cast as impressive as the one I just listed, I expected to be wowed. I wasn’t so much wowed as I was perplexed.
Blame the script. The story almost seemed incomplete. The film spends a great deal of time setting-up the individual characters, but the audience wasn’t given enough information about how all of the players ended-up in the conundrum central to the story. Plus, the set-up of the characters took too long. Triple 9 is a heist movie. It took too long to get to the big heist. I felt that each big-name actor needed to have a certain amount of dialogue. It felt forced. There is only so much room at the top of a marquee. I wanted more about the central story that I was having trouble following.
Blame the timing. The movie ran long. Most of the scenes take place at night. There are some scenes take place in darkened bars. Other settings included abandoned (and dark) buildings. At just under a two-hour run time, it is too long to be in the dark. So, I guess, I am also blaming the setting.
That’s a lot of blame, especially for a movie that I’m not calling a bad film. I just expected more. Triple 9 is super average. I enjoy most of the cast in other films. I was looking forward to this film. The gifted cast deserved a better movie. I think Triple 9 is more worthwhile as rental than an in theater experience. But, don’t take my word for it. You can see Triple 9 for yourself playing in theaters now.

Travis and Gabby first meet as neighbors in a small coastal town and wind up in a relationship that is tested by life's most defining events.
I had the opportunity to watch “The Choice” at the Grove. I was rushing due to traffic but times had been printed wrong and the movie started at 7:30. Phew! We were able to sign in with a really polite staff and get our seats earlier than expected.
Now the movie… [Spoilers ahead]
I had been on board with Nicholas Sparks with his earlier work: A Walk To Remember, The Notebook and Message In A Bottle. I stopped watching, somewhere around 2008, as his films started feeling the same. Nevertheless, “The Choice” does fall into the arc pattern that Nicholas Sparks is so known for but it somehow feels fresh. Teresa Palmer and Benjamin Walker make a heartfelt duo, pleasantly surprised with the latter as I’m used to seeing him in drama films. But the films starts light and with lots of humor as Gabby and Travis show us their relationship 7 years prior to the choice and it is pleasant to see them falling in love. In the third act, by the accident, you know where this movie is going but the director still plays a bit with angles in different shots during different scenes to keep the element of surprise: will he end it? Would he disconnect his wife? Travis wishes he could breathe for his wife and blames himself for not being on time, as this would’ve changed the outcome. This is the lesson that he intends to give since the beginning of the movie: every choice you make in life changes everything. He chooses to wait, to not disconnect his wife, while he tries to look for a way to show how much he loves her: give her the moon and the stars just as he promised by recreating a childhood memory of hers by their spot.
Even if the script was a bit predictable, I found myself enjoying “The Choice”. Benjamin Walker and Teresa Palmer are a refreshing duo that keeps your interest and the director managed to present us a lovely love story. This is not your usual tearjerker, and mostly due to the subtle way that Travis’s playful personality lightens the emotional moments during the scenes, but it does manage to emote a feeling of hope for the two characters.
