An outstanding cast and ambitious story help Triple Frontier overcome an uneven narrative -- and elevate the end result above a crowded field of grim and gritty heist thrillers.

Weak plot carried by good actors and that Mi-8 scene over the mountains.

J.C. Chandor delivers another remarkably succinct heist drama with Triple Frontier – with a cast about as strong as one can possibly get. Oscar Isaac and Ben Affleck lead a team of former special ops soldiers into South America to retrieve a large sum of money, and the events spiral from there. Chandor's 2019 film stands among the best action movies of the late-2010s. Full review: https://cinephilecorner.com/reviews/triple-frontier-movie-2019/

With Chandor doubling as director the movie looks great but makes surprisingly little of the personal conflicts that arise.

The Atlantic

Alas, just as broken clocks have their moments of accuracy, even the most gifted directors occasionally offer up disappointments. Such is the case with J.C. Chandor's fourth film, Triple Frontier.

Polygon

Triple Frontier doesn't entirely manage to transcend the traps of action movie, but there's more to it than meets the eye.

Firstpost

In Triple Frontier, the ‘plot’ aspects of the screenplay work well, but when the characters driving that plot are not fully-formed and layered, it seeps through.

Rated: 2.5/5

...just when you think you have it figured out, it throws an unexpected but welcomed curveball.

Rated: 4/5

M.N. Miller

Ready Steady Cut

Chandor and Boal’s collaboration on Triple Frontier is the first blemish on their practically pristine resumes; a generic, by-the-numbers heist thriller camouflaged with a false social consciousness.

Rated: 2.5/5
