View Full Version : Netflix’ film “Triple Frontier”
I enjoyed this one. Not an award winner, but a solid movie that reminded me strongly of the 1960’s westerns that I grew up on. Plenty of AR visuals, too. It did drag just a bit at moments, but overall, worth the time to watch.

I watched it Wednesday evening.
I enjoyed the gun play, but found it boring and otherwise not particularly good. Definitely harps on the vets-as-victims thing a little hard.
Saw it last night. It was ok but by the time they were just on foot I was loosing interest and pretty much forced myself to finish watching.

The whole idea of getting away with it was lost to the greed and weight of so much money.
It's an old story, just written for a modern age.
I started watching it last night. Got about half way through and called it.
It was meh

Basically a remake of 1981 "High Risk".
I found the chase to freedom (which was best part of High Risk) to be drawn out and and basically boring. For high speed operators, their skills basically sucked outside the house. The setup for a sequel was predictable.

I'm holding off until Will Brink makes a review on it.

I can’t wait for that paragraph lmfao

It’s like a really awkward multiplayer match of Wildlands and it left me angry and disappointed.
Trannies and SR16s would have given it a pity watch.

It's major redeeming factor is that Ben took one to the bean.
This was a really weak movie, granted I wasn’t expecting much but this movie was wack.

It was weird.
Guys wrongs ages for ranks, etc.
Walking around no security, guns slung weird.
Who was their mil advisor, that Corey guy that ended up having no service?
And, frankly, in real life there are a shit ton of fuk ups sucking at life claiming their former Ranger Bn, sf, operator service.
You know how many guys like that for real I see sucking at life being a fuk up? Instead of totally crushing it and kicking ass, virtually none.
Love Death and Robots is multitudes time better than this dumpster fire

High Risk was a pretty crappy movie but I always liked the air strip pick up scene.

Yep, that is one my all-time favorite scenes. Great cast, M60s, Jeeps, music. My Avatar is the pilot at 50 sec as he yells Here We Come and launches into Satisfaction.

Is it just me or did one character get through the whole movie and multiple shooting scenes with a GG&G cover on his EoTech flipped down?
Believe it or not if I'm right about that I would still put the gunplay at the "OK-plus" level, better than many, not perfect perhaps but I see an effort was made.
Incredible scenery shots from anywhere, I dig. This had some good ones. One of my all time faves is Proof of Life. Gunplay was as flawless as a movie gets (Thell Reed by God), scenery fantastic (worth it just for the scenery behind the closing credits).

That is exactly what I was thinking when I saw the preview.

My thoughts exactly. It also bothered me that they lost their discipline during stealing the cash, I was a super POG when I was in, but the film lost any sense of realism after that point.
Yeah, this one was pretty much crap. I'm quite curious if they're going to bother making a sequel, but it is Netflix. They THROW money at content production, and they can't all be hits.

I did find it frustrating that they didn't seem to have any contingency plans. And given that they each ended up with just a backpack of cash, it's probably what they should have taken in the first place... and then they wouldn't have crashed the Hip and Batfleck wouldn't have been whacked and a bunch of Andean villagers wouldn't be dead.
Of course, there wouldn't have been much of a movie, at that point. It would have to have been like Ocean's 11, with guns.
And now that I say it, I think that would have been a much more interesting movie.

Yep robots or rewatch BHD.
Hell Apocalypse Now is on.
This movie was literally Wildlands with stupid people. lame.
But the premise was interesting. We need characters we care about. Not brokedick mopes.
We needed trannies, we needed SR-16s, we needed tiger stripes. The soundtrack was try hard. like music they think white people care about.
We needed The Midnight, Kesha, Ellie Goulding, Tupac, Meek Mill, and some Kavinsky.
We needed one liners. We needed guys getting into heated debates over the master races of candy and cars. We needed breasteses.
Watch The Last Runway. OMG that movie was awesome. Its subtitled on Netflix but if you know spanish it is so funny and fun to watch. The ballbusting, the shootouts, even that weird, homosexual marpat camo ripoff they use down there.
That was a fun movie
The best parts of the film were the classic Metallica songs at the beginning and end. Orion is a great instrumental.

They’re doing a sequel in Haiti. Same plot except they all get nabbed at a checkpoint.
