Critics Consensus

Triple 9's pulpy potboiler thrills don't quite live up to the ferocious talents of its cast, but the film's efficient, solidly crafted genre fun is often enough to balance its troublesome flaws.

Times of Israel

At the end of the day, stories need to be about characters, not types. While nothing that ought to inspire a letter writing campaign from the ADL,"Triple 9" fails to make it past shorthand.

Shadow and Act

The real screen stealer in Triple 9 is Clifton Collins Jr., as the quietly diabolical, dirty detective Rodriguez. He is a reason why this film will keep you glued to your seat.

It's the kind of crooked cop film that will likely wind up on a random list of 100 Crooked Cop Movies compiled in no ranking order... in the next few years. It's that derivative.

Rated: C

That's what makes Triple 9 more disappointing than anything else; it's not a bad movie, but "not bad" shouldn't be good enough here...

Rated: B-

Triple 9 probably won’t go down as one of the great heist films on par with Die Hard or The Italian Job, but it might.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Boasting a stellar top-shelf cast of dedicated, yet mismatched parts, "Triple 9" does its best to battle treacherous flaws.

Rated: 3/5

Imagine you have one of the most amazing casts ever ensembled. And your writers are fantastic at writing scenes. But wouldnt know a plot if it hit them in the face. That's this movie. It has amazing scene after scene but it seems to have been plotted and put together by a 12 year old. Nearly everyone in this movie is .. flat out evil. How this director managed to get people to hand him the money to hire a cast like this is hard to fathom. It tries to steal the scenes/feeling from movies like Heat and Training day but the director/producers/writers arent remotely in that league. Not worth watching other than for the actors performances

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Would’ve loved to see Norman Reedus’ character get more time but overall I can’t complain. It was a good movie. Heist movie mixed with dirty cops with a stellar cast. I can’t think of one weak actor/actress.

Good action but the plot drags out waaaay too long! And the actress doing the Russian accent was absolutely horrible!

Such an average film that wastes a stellar cast. It seems as if the screenwriter gave up halfway through and just tacked on an anticlimactic ending. It had potential and actually starts out well, but goes down the hill pretty fast after the first "shocking" kill. Rating: 5.5/10

Great cast carry this decent plot. The characters are formula, though there are some good scenes.
