Triple Frontier

You suspect Boal takes pride in his work being described as "sober", as in a "sober, clear-eyed look at" war or police brutality or ex-mil dirty work. (HURT LOCKER is kinda the Alcoholics Anonymous of war movies: strenuous claims of non-politics obscuring a deeply political nature very friendly to American industry.) Just park him in a ten-year TV show and get Bigelow back to high-grade schlock. Chandor will be fine if he can remember the difference between sober and sobering.

It was pretty good til the helicopter crash then it started going down hill

Considering the cast and the trailer I really expected action packed thriller out of this. Instead we got some sort of soul questioning quest of 5 ex-special forces guys. Couple good and action packed scenes, but thats it, there is nothing more to this.

Expected more from this. It's fine I guess, it has its moments, but there is a whole middle section where it loses all momentum and excitement, but it doesn't have good enough writing to add any emotional depth in those parts. It tries, but it comes across as pretty standard. A shame given the cast.

While "Triple Frontier" had a decent cast with well developed characters and a pretty solid story, it was too bogged down trying to juggle being an action movie, a heist movie, and a military movie, and for all of those genres, it had a hell of a lot of down time.

After some very standard scenes of getting the band back together, this turns into a remake of THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE (oddly, Pedro Pascal's second in two years, after another Netflix film, PROSPECT). Although some plot turns might be unexpected, the overall narrative is quite predictable, eventually turning into yet another example of the Best Thing a Father Can Do Is Die/Disappear And Leave Behind A Pot Of Gold genre. Pascal initially set up as the wild one but nothing comes of it.

Agreeably old-fashioned adventure yarn (in terms of plotting and characterisation) is an intoxicating mix of THE GUNS OF NAVARONE and the sensibilities of 80s actioners for the first half; it's a shame the second half gives in to implausible and contrived plotting (even for the genre) which dissipates the fun and turns it somewhat plodding - an admittedly neat shock moment involving a major character is well executed, but doesn't really pay off to much, outside of the absurd final scene.

TRIPLE the pedestrian camera shots; TRIPLE the uninspired soundtrack choices; TRIPLE the instances of Ben Affleck's poor dramatic acting: TRIPLE FRONTIER.

The music is strong, the editing is sharp, and the cinematography is sleek (lots of gorgeous wide shots of natural scenery). Isaac stands out among a solid cast and the plot is consistently engaging in its twisty mix of heist thrills and survival adventure. It's the drama that doesn't quite hit home: the characters are inconsistent, the moments of tension aren't followed up on, and the thematic reflections on the morality of violence are uncomfortably weak (and ultimately undermined in the end).

This film does from time to time stray away from the path you expect it to take. In doing that it does leverage a little bit back in terms of the faulty plan and very one dimensional characters it creates. There was and is a lot more potential within these characters. It was enjoyable but it just never quite makes you reach the level of excitement that other films have despite the talent present to do just that. The action scenes were almost flat and short and the tension just did not mount.

bad movie

First half works as a good heist movie, the second part, the escape material, not so much. Some good action scenes and a thrilling sense of suspense keep the plot going.

What starts as a middle-aged dad fantasy (the boys are back in town!) turns into a Michael-Mann-lite procedural, and then finally a critique on greed and the American military. There isn't a lot of meat on the bones, but the film is slick as hell and the cast is very fun to watch. Wish I had seen this in the big screen.

Got it? You can kill and steal ONLY for your country, otherwise it's evil and you will die. So, make sure that flag is on your shoulder while doing it.

Starts out slow with character development that mostly failed to get me invested in its characters, aside from remembering Affleck’s motivation. By the time the plot really starts moving, the pacing is consistent and I was never bored. It’s an interesting film that shows just how greedy one can be when faced with a ton of money. I also found the film relatively unpredictable at times, which was a nice surprise.

It might not be anything I haven't seen, either as a heist movie or as a "Treasure of the Sierra Madre" style tale of greed, but seeing the five talented leading men playing off each other and the lush cinematography was more than enough.

A well acted and fairly grounded action adventure, which was honestly a nice change of pace in the genre.

Yeah, it was better than I expected it to be. I was kind of thinking it was going to be this standard action movie with a lot of shooting and explosions, but it's really a story about greed. It's a story of people discovering an opportunity and then taking a bigger bite than they wer meant to and things just go downhill from there. Stellar cast, some good action scenes and a story that keeps you engaged after you get through the kind of boring beginning of it.

Thought it would be more action-oriented but glad it wasn't. Still felt flat somehow despite the cast.

The social commentary is interesting but missing a certain edge. Feels like it either lacked refinement or was watered down at some point along the production pipeline. It's easy to suggest that the film peaks in the middle with the heist sequence and runs out of steam as it moves along. Nevertheless, I like the thematic implication that it is much easier to murder than it is to prosper. The 2nd half might be less entertaining, but I found it more thought-provoking.

Triple Frontier is definitely a heist film, but it's a different breed of heist film given its militaristic context. The movie is intelligent, thrilling, and heartbreaking.

I was very happy with the group's chemistry; everyone acts well and does their best with the story they're given. Still, SPOILERS, Affleck's character does a complete 180 on his moral alignment (the one who should have doubled down on his greed should have been Isaac) and once he does, it becomes very clear that they won't be making it out with the money. That and he should have died in the climax, not the end of Act 2.

A group of five former Special Forces agents are reunited for a meticulously planned robbery in a sparsely populated border area in South America. For the first time in their prestigious careers, the ex-military take on a dangerous mission. This time not for their homeland, but purely out of self-interest. When their coordinated plans unexpectedly fail, they push their skills, loyalty, and morals to the limit and fight for their lives.

A band of ex-military takeout a drug lord and try to get his millions out of the country. They get the hard part done but go bust trying to get their booty out of the country. It was well made, has good acting, good SFX, and good music. It was pretty exciting at times. Well worth watching.

Would have benefited from just keeping it dumb. Really lazy writing given the already easy premise.

Some very enjoyable action, overall a "kinda" decent film but a slow ending crawl which kind of sucks the venom out of the strong first half. its just too contrasting a second half in pace/atmosphere from the first. Also im not a fan of heavy handed moral stories, its very thick with the "greed doesnt pay" goody toeshoes message that is way to saccharine sickening for this type of film, but atleast the last moment makes up for that a bit. Anyway, the action in it, is good. watch it.

Most of the set up here was quite decent and you can see there was money spent on this film, but it all just falls flat by the end and left me wondering what the point was?

Great action and cast.

Pretty good until the heist, but pretty stupid after that.

Every time I watch Netflix production I want to go on a rant about how all of them find a way to suck. Take this movie. Starring Affleck and Isaac, directed by Chandor - ought to be decent, right? Wrong. It is like they use A-list talent to make B-movies (and not even the good kind of). I liked how the plot didn't focus on the heist, and evolved into adventure flick at some point, but the good things are far and between, Just a tired, straight-to-video fare.

Aksiyon vardır diye düşünmüştüm ama çok çok az var. Tüm olay para kaçırma başka bişey yok.

Plays out like a super consolidated rendition of the Spanish conquests of the Americas in a really abstract and inaccurate way. The 3 characters that weren't played by Affleck or Isaac blended into each other by the end. Overall, well shot, fairly realistic, not quite The Counsellor bleak and a few shades less gritty than the Sicario films.

a 2a metade piora bastante o resultado

Quite a feat to have a script made entirely of exposition dialogue written by a five year old child. Humourless and utterly pointless to the last, don't bother. If you've not seen it, watch 'The Treasure of the Sierra Madre' instead.

Nice but feels a bit flat.

Not that terrible really. It's a morally murky man-movie beginning as a heist and ending as an Anabasis. Both Chandor and Boal are capable of more than this, but it's well-polished and suspenseful and does what it's supposed to.

Lush cinematography and a charismatic cast make this an enjoyable watch. The film was at its best during the tense and brutal set pieces. However, it was let down by a weak ending due to inconsistent character motivations and actions. Still much better than a lot of Netflix films.

Overly familiar riffs and tropes but not completely dull.

Awesome cast and story ruined by poor directing. Ben Affleck steals every scene he is in. I really wanted to like this, but why is it that Netflix films always look low-budget, even when they're not? Is it the lack of extras? The use of drone shots instead of crane shots? A lens that's not wide enough? I'm not sure, but something is off with the way this entire movie looks, making it seem like a straight-to-video low budget military themed time-passer. The heist scene is solid though.

Not bad.

Plays a bit like a weaker version of Lone Survivor with Ben Afflecks character and acting as the film's weakest spots. But hey - there's Metallica and Pantera on the soundtrack! And the action works pretty well. Could've been better with a tighter script though.

There's not much character development here and not much to hold on to. Is it patriotic? Is it not? Who knows really. The heist scene was directed well but the rest of the action was very mediocre with some cutting errors that made a few scenes seem weird. Could've been a deeper film.

Missing some additional element to really justify existing. Has some good tension.

Gerçekten son zamanda izlediğim boş,klişelerle dolu bir aksiyon filmi gibi izlemeye başladım ki yaklaşık ilk 50 dakikası böylede oldu ama öyle bir vurucu sahne var ki filmde resmen şok içinde kaldım oradan sonra gerçekten film kesinlikle ortalamanın üstüne çıkıyor.İyi oyunculuk,harika çatışma sekansları ve çekim açıları ile kaliteli bir yapım olduğunu hissediyor.Netflix'in iyi işlerinden..

Not bad, but not good either. Feels rushed and not really on point.

sierra madre'de eleştirilen defolara 71 yıl sonra benzeri bir anlatıda utanmazca sahip çıkmak ilginç bir siyasi zaferi gösteriyor. chandor'ın filmografisi ve boal'un kariyeri açısından pek şaşırtıcı değil elbette bu. anlatıya sorunlu yaklaşımı, temel vaadi açısından işleyen kalifiye bir aksiyon filmi olduğunu değiştirmiyor ama denk geldiği siyasi iklim özelinde konuşulunca gelecek haklı göz devirme de filmin beslendiği ideolojiyi doğru çıkarmıyor.
