Mit öffentlichen Hinrichtungen, Straßenschlachten und brutaler Folter halten rivalisierende Gangs und die übermächtige Russenmafia Atlanta in ihrem tödlichen Griff. Frischling Chris (Casey Affleck) bekommt durch seinen Onkel, Sergeant Detective Jeffrey Allen (Woody Harrelson), einen Job im gefährlichsten Viertel. Sein blauäugiger Idealismus bringt ihn nicht nur bei den gesetzlosen Gangstern in Gefahr, sondern auch in die Schusslinie seines neuen Partners Marcus Atwood (Anthony Mackie). Atwood gehört zu einer Gruppe von korrupten Bullen, die für die mächtige Russenmafia-Chefin Irina Vlaslov (Kate Winslet) Banken ausrauben. Als Irina den Druck auf die Cops erhöht und einen unmöglich erscheinenden Raubzug verlangt, fassen die abgebrühten Männer einen wahnwitzigen Plan: sie wollen den Polizeicode „999" auslösen, um im anschließenden Chaos unbehelligt von den Kollegen, ihr Ding durchziehen zu können: einzig dafür muss ein Polizist im Dienst sterben. Chris scheint das perfekte Opfer zu sein... (Constantin Film AT)

Triple 9 bietet einen ziemlich authentischen Ausflug in die schmutzigen Straßen von Atlanta, die voll von skrupellosen Mafiosi, gefährlichen Gangs und korrupten Polizisten sind. Auch wenn die Situation recht glaubhaft geschildert wird, fehlte doch etwas, und ich persönlich hätte die Gesamtlänge etwas gekürzt. Was die Besetzung angeht, so war ich (wie immer) größtenteils zufrieden, vor allem mit Kate Winslet, die wirklich gut in die Rolle des weiblichen Bösewichts passte und einen tollen Akzent hatte.

If I leave aside the fact that this film offers rather solid action scenes, I wouldn’t know what else I should talk about in this case. Triple 9 had a great cast of actors and it didn’t manage to work with them well enough for me to get used to any single one of them at least for a while. Instead, the movie focuses on a band of nasty Hispanic guys who make life miserable both for the group of familiar actors and for ourselves. And that’s a world I don’t need to see.

A great crime movie that would benefit from being a couple of minutes longer to make it easier to orient oneself in the story. These days it’s almost a miracle to see something so bloody with such a well thought-out storyline and such an excellent cast. Hillcoat puts on a great performance. Ejiofor is pleasant at last, and Winslet is just perfect. Triple 9 is both the purpose and the result in a thoughtful probe into the world of today’s police. This little piggy...

Seemingly perfect, because at first glance everything looks as it should to be a proper crime drama. It has nice covers, a stellar cast in atypical roles (Chiwetel Ejiofo, Kate Winslet), and a well-known director of cruelty behind the camera. But in the end, it only looks like that, because this heist story like The Town is just a conundrum of who survives the longest. There’s no tangible plot, and the little there is punishingly quickly wrapped up. Watching 115 minutes of mobsters, junkies, Nazis, tattooed Mexicans, etc. who's going to hit who first, a raw probe into the criminal rabble of a big American city population, it’s not bad, especially when the demon Atticus Ross plays along and that out-of-focus, volatile camera makes you feel like Ayer assisted. But script-wise, it's a complete piece of shit.

Olivier Marchal, David Ayer, Shawn Ryan, James Ellroy and, last but not least, Don Winslow are the big names of dirty harsh criminal movies about corrupt police officers in the movies/series/literature. And with this feature-length debut, Matt Cook enters the same room with them. He lags behind but only a little bit. Yes, it has such potential. It's a pity that it´s conflicting with Hillcoat's concept, because chose the wrong pace of narration. Considering how much is happening and on how many levels, it gives you feeling that it´s way too lengthy. I´m not saying boring, not at all. But this movie was supposed to be an adrenaline-fueled ride driven by inner tension and not a slow-paced something that looks like nothing is really going on. But even that being said, it´s exceptional in terms of genre. And even more considering that similar movies were almost exclusively made as series.
