Former Special Forces operatives reunite to plan a heist in a sparsely populated multi-border zone of South America. For the first time in their prestigious careers, these unsung heroes undertake this dangerous mission for themselves instead of the country. But when events take an unexpected turn and threaten to spiral out of control, their skills, their loyalties, and their morals are pushed to a breaking point in an epic battle for survival.

Critics Consensus

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.

Brad Newsome

Sydney Morning Herald

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.

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

I think what we really mean is that films need to earn their shifts in tone. If a film is going to display life’s wanton curveballs, it needs to show that it’s willing to get down into the grittiness of this thing we call life...

Rated: B

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.

Great cast, mediocre movie, and the ending seemed like they ran out of money.

I went into this film with low expectations. The writing was bad, but the acting and gun fights made it worth watching - - but just barely.

I won't spoil the ending for you such as it is. That's 90 minutes of my life that I will never ever get back and believe me I'm pissed about it. My wife says "oh, let's try this." I told her that I would never let her pick a movie for me ever again.

Very predictable full of cliches action movie, to the point that it gets boring at times.

Confused at best. An amoral stew of logic and emotion best summed up in one of the final lines “Tell Molly he was a hero”.

Greed is a deadly sin, and Ben Affleck paid the ultimate price to teach us that lesson. Thank you Ben Affleck.
