Triple 9 - Unlucky Streak


These two heist thrillers look like extended Payday games, with awesome masks and weponary. Both the films are wonderfully written and directed. Even the drama steps in suspensefully and the relationship the charcters share are crisply elaborted. The movies have short and well shot action sequences, esp. Triple 9 has got couple of amazing shootouts. Of coarse the way they are filmed along with an intense musical score pumps the urge to follow the proceedings.
