Triple Frontier is perfect Movies In Focus fodder. J.C. Chandor’s film seems like a rough and tumble, gritty action thriller with brains. Tough guys, doing tough things, against tough odds.
Written by Mark Boal (The Hurt Locker), this Netflix movie has had a long gestation period but it has secured an impressive cast (Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, Garrett Hedlund and Pedro Pascal) and it looks great.
Check out the trailer:
The synopsis:
A group of former Special Forces operatives (BEN AFFLECK, OSCAR ISAAC, CHARLIE HUNNAM, GARRETT HEDLUND and PEDRO PASCAL) 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 self instead of 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. Directed by Academy Award® nominee J.C. CHANDOR (Margin Call, All Is Lost, A Most Violent Year) and co-written by Chandor and Academy Award® winner MARK BOAL (The Hurt Locker, Zero Dark Thirty).
Triple Frontier hits Netflix in March 2019.
