Ron's rages are sincere and — according to his wife — healthily cathartic. But can these splenetic outbursts loosen the grip of capitalism at its most monstrous?
Triple 9 (15)
Directed by John Hillcoat
3/5
In this brutal thriller, Australian John Hillcoat’s driving direction carries you fast and furiously over illogical elements and several standard characterisations in Matt Cook’s violence-ridden screenplay.
The setting is Atlanta — which, if anything like the grim city pictured here, is well worth avoiding — where a bunch of crooked cops and former special services soldiers has to try and pull off a near-impossible heist for a ruthless Russian mobster.
