Short description

Triple 9 is a 2016 crime thriller set in Atlanta, where a crew of corrupt police officers and criminals carries out violent robberies for a Russian-Israeli mafia boss. When she demands one more high-risk job, the group plots to pull every officer in the city away from the target by staging a "999" call, the police code for an officer down. The plan depends on killing a policeman, and the partner assigned to one member of the crew is a young, idealistic officer who happens to be the nephew of the detective leading the investigation.

John Hillcoat directed the film from a screenplay by Matt Cook, following The Proposition, The Road and Lawless. The cast includes Casey Affleck, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Anthony Mackie, Kate Winslet, Woody Harrelson and Aaron Paul, with 53 credited cast members and 145 credited crew.

Made for a budget of 20 million dollars, Triple 9 took in about 13 million dollars worldwide, less than its production cost. On IMDb it holds a 6.3 rating from over 75,000 votes, and on TMDB a 6 out of 10 from more than 2,300 votes. A film critics' rating of 5.8 out of 10 from 187 reviews places it close to the audience scores, indicating a generally mixed response across both groups.
