Dull
Considering the very decent cast and a not entirely unintriguing plot, I was hoping this might actually be quite good. Sadly, it wasn’t. The soundtrack was pretty good and the film started off well throwing us right into the action, it just went downhill after that. The cast are quite decent, and Oscar Isaac is always good to watch (although I really don’t rate Ben Affleck, as usual). The problem is that the film itself is fairly dull and predictable. It takes well over an hour (half of the run time) to get into any action whatsoever and even then it isn’t particularly entertaining. There was no tension or real intrigue, and it played out exactly as you’d expect. I was hoping for something similar to Sicario, but sadly this was nothing like it.

Choices and Consequences - 7/10
Triple Frontier is a 2019 action/thriller movie directed by J.C. Chandor. The screenplay was written by J.C. Chandor and Mark Boal with story also by Mark Boal. Starring Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, Garrett Hedlund, and Pedro Pascal.


In Columbia fighting drug crime, Santiago "Pope" Garcia (Oscar Isaac), has been working for 3 years. Finally the moment he's been waiting for occurs, when his informant, a woman named Yovanna (Adria Arjona), offers the location of a big time drug lord in exchange for smuggling her brother and her out of the country. She also tells him that the drug lord Lorea keeps all his money with him in his safe house in the jungle. Pope recruits his friends, a group of ex Army Special Forces, for a mission to take out Lorea and seize the money for themselves. But when things go wrong it's one unexpected turn of events after the other, with things spiralling out of control. In an epic battle for survival they are pushed to their breaking point, putting their morals, skills, and loyalties to the test.


This movie was good. Wasn't quite what I expected. As good as it was, I feel like it was missing something. It was a little slow in the beginning, after the first action sequence, and pacing was a bit off. Definitely as advertised in being an action/thriller. If you like action scenes where they shoot-'em-up, this definitely has plenty. I just felt with the pacing that they were far and in between. The acting was very good, the only thing I would say is that the characters didn't have much to keep you connected to them and really care about what happens to them in the long run. It felt like they weren't fully fleshed out and they could have done more to do that better. One thing it did do very well was how it showed the motivations of some of the characters and what led them to the decisions they made. I give this movie a 7/10.

Decent action/heist film
The trailer for Netflix most recent own film had me sold. Looking like a Special forces heist film with all guns blazing. Sadly it isn't quite like that for the duration of the film. It takes a while to build up to the action and then it's more about the escape. Which has little action until the end of the film. The action scenes are good though. If you were hoping for a mix of Heat with the Expendables then this isn't it. It does pose some brief issues on a deeper level about ex-forces personnel and morals, friendship but only a little. Always good to hear some Metallica blasting out in a film though.

Wasn't the strongest of stories that are like this
Good but had it's down sides
The film was adequate to what other films are out there in this general style, I loved the cast and the filming was good. However the film took a while to kick in and i found myself gorming at my phone more so than watching the film. I really enjoyed some of the story and the action scenes were okay, they could have done a lot more with the film, I feel as though it wasnt thought through as much as it could have been, but overall is a good thing to watch casually if you have the time, or even put it on in the background while you're doing something else.
