TRIPLE 9—strange title…
It’s actually the police code (999) for “officer down.”
And what we’ve got here is a bad-ass criminal gang made up of ex-Special Forces pros taken in by the Russian Mob to rob banks.
Then there are the dirty cops who make sure that everything goes down smoothly.
The team includes Chiwetel Ejiofor, Anthony Mackie, Aaron Paul, Clifton Collins, Jr. and Kate Winslet.
It’s them against good-guy cops Woody Harrelson and his nephew Casey Affleck.
And when these two factions collide, all hell breaks lose!
Plans are turned upside down when an unsuspecting rookie set up in an attack triggers a breakneck and action packed finale tangled with double crosses, greed and revenge.
We’re talking two hours of relentless, high-voltage and ruthless crime drama.
And it’s all pulled off by a dynamic ensemble cast that pulls no punches.
Affleck, Ejiofor, Mackey, Paul, Collins, Harrelson and Winslet.
This is R-rated law and DISorder!
TRIPLE 9—An intense modern day TRAINING DAY.
My grade: A pulsating B+

Sounds like a solid popcorn flick.
IT IS!!!!
I must be an old “fart”. At least, it is not a rehashed, repeated plot. Perhaps a bit unbelievable, but between this and the average transvestite super hero, convincing Superman that he is still relative, maybe it is actually refreshing.. Then again, my tastes are different from the “Walking Dead”, “Sort of Walking Dead”, and “Thoughts of the Walking Dead”. With hundreds of books written each year, perhaps we could see something new.
So has Hearne’s blog now gone dormant? Not even Glazer is on here spewing his ignorance on all subjects.
