If you’re already tired of the Oscar-hungry dramas this season, John Hillcoat, the director behind The Proposition, The Road, and Lawless, looks to be soon delivering a down-and-dirty heist thriller with the cast one might expect in such a prestige drama. Today now brings a new preview for Triple 9 thanks to another trailer, some images, and a set of character posters.
Starring Casey Affleck, Woody Harrelson, Kate Winslet, Aaron Paul, Norman Reedus, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Anthony Mackie, Gal Gadot, Teresa Palmer and Clifton Collins, Jr., the Matt Cook-scripted story follows a group of crooked cops planning a major heist. Check out everything below for the film we named one of the most-anticipated of 2016.
When a crew of dirty cops is blackmailed by the Russian mob to execute a virtually impossible heist, they realise 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, triggering a breakneck, action packed finale tangled with double-crosses, greed and revenge.
Triple 9 opens on February 19th, 2016.
