TRIPLE 9 Gets An Action-Packed New Trailer

The upcoming action thriller Triple 9 is one of my most anticipated movies of 2016, and with a cast that includes Chiwetel Ejiofor, Norman Reedus, Aaron Paul, Anthony Mackie, Casey Affleck, Woody Harrelson, Kate Winslet, Gal Gadot, and Clifton Collins Jr, you can probably see why. Open Road has released a brand new trailer for the movie (via iTunes and ComingSoon), and as much as I want everyone to be as excited about this film as I am, I've gotta say that I think the trailer gives away one too many moments from the movie that I would have rather seen in context for the first time. I think this marks the last piece of advertising I'll watch for this film since I'm already all-in on the concept and what director John Hillcoat (The Proposition, The Road, Lawless) seems to be going for here.

Triple 9 hits theaters on February 26th. Watch this new trailer at your own discretion.

When a crew of dirty cops is blackmailed by the Russian mob to execute a virtually impossible heist, they realize the only way to pull it off is to manufacture a 999, police code for “officer down”. The chaos that ensues when a police officer is shot in the line of duty is just the diversion they’ll need to do the job, but whether they have the will to kill one of their own is an entirely different matter. Their plan is turned upside down when the unsuspecting rookie they set up to die foils the attack, triggering a breakneck, action packed finale tangled with double-crosses, greed and revenge.
