‘Triple Frontier’ thoughts

This is a remake of a far better movie titled HIGH RISK. Watch that one instead.

I watched it. Enjoyable two hours. It's an action movie. What are you looking for in an action movie? A fucking best picture nomination?

in the hands of a better director this film would've been great
you have the cast you do nothing with them
fuck man the most character we have is the 5th guy whos name nobody can remember.
affleck is just affleck as always, a smart guy who does dumb shit because reasons.
isaac tries to be a character and his motives are unclear and it's hard to make out what he is in for. what starts with interesting ambiguity turns to boring leaf in the wind character changes.
pascal, hunnam and hedlund aren't given anything to do with their time on screen. surprisingly hedlund was the most of a character we get he has personality which is a trope but it's used well in the fact that they writers didn't "kill the cheerful kid in the group" to get some emotional response from the audience.
felt like the first part of the movie leading to the "heist" was completely obsolete and hollow. the movie after the heist is not bad at all. the way they get fucked over and over again by circumstances feels genuine.
the mule scene reminded me of Sorcerer for some reason and thus of a far better film I could be watching right now if I wanted to see people struggle against nature and fate to get from point a to point b.
I mean it's an alright dude bro movie but could've been much better, huge wasted potential.

Affleck is really good at playing a miserable drunk

>oscar isaac actually gets to keep a few million and shack up with a beautiful latina

The other guys were fools

he didn't know the camera was on

it's like when people start critiquing superhero movies. idiots can't form opinions about actual art but they want to consider themselves critics so they go for the accessible shit.

I hate cgi gun fights. Spend money on squibs and blanks you gays.

did you read about the production behind this movie? it was supposed to be directed by kathryn bigalow and starring tom hanks and johnny depp before it stalled. it was in production since 2010

based

sounds like production hell if you ask me
on top of that
I don't buy tom hanks operating. I surely don't buy Johnny Depp being anything but a pirate anymore.

What a fucking mess of a movie. Literally 2 hours of nothing happening except some dude randomly getting shot in the head.

Movie being action movie doesn't mean it has to be shit, dumdum

they had the coordinates

Which was predictable as fuck the way they had him stand there.

Didn't the guy even say he'd stand there as bait to distract the shooter?

The payoff was anticlimactic, wasn't it? It feels like they went through all that for the opportunity to split-up and somberly wait.

oh yeah I’m agreeing with you, the whole third act was extremely lackluster, wasn’t equal to the first act set up

I only watched this because of Charlie Hunnam.

fuck you i liked it
was a film by men for men, don't get that too often sometimes

For Operator kino, it's not bad. But I would just recommend people watch Treasure of the Sierra Madre again instead of this remake.

>don't know why critics are saying its good
2 reasons:
1) the "profession" of film criticism has devolved to shilling. Their job description is literally to get as many people to see a movie as possible
2) compared to the utter shit coming out these days, this movie is actually decent.

I only watched it bc the guy who did the ost for It Follows done this one as well, and it wasn't even good.

>not liking Metallica Orion

I only watched it because it annoys me that he and Garret Hedlund insist on working as individual actors instead of just accepting the fact that they're basically the same person and participating in movies one at a time under the same name

Seeing them interact as separate characters helped me get over this

Only a bit though
