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.

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...

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

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.

One of Netflix's best Originals, Triple Frontier is a fairly straightforward action-thrillers elevated by gripping action sequences, outstanding performances from the entire cast, visceral sound design and some stunning cinematography.

Good actors but a lacking screenplay. Couldn’t make it through to the end. No emotional investment with the characters and every decision they made was the wrong one which seemed utterly preposterous considering these were supposed to be the most disciplined men in their industry.

"Triple Frontier" follows a team of five ex-military men on a heist to steal the ill-gotten gains of a South American drug lord known as Lorea. The men reluctantly agree, but soon find themselves in over their heads. Throughout the film there are recurring themes of greed, as the men must decide how much money to leave behind to assure their survival. This feels a bit ironic. Here this is a story about risk and reward, where the movie itself takes very few risks and just delvers a pretty straight forward action film. The movie isn't bad. It is well cast, has a couple of good twists and plays an interesting game of morality. The characters are nothing memorable and none of the scenes stand out as that impressive. As long as Netflix is burning money, they might as well keep recording it for us to enjoy.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars
