"Don't make me regret pulling you cops in for this." Open Road FIlms has debuted another new trailer for the heist film Triple 9, from writer & director John Hillcoat, starring Casey Affleck, Woody Harrelson and Anthony Mackie. This ensemble action-thriller is about a crew of dirty cops who setup a "virtually impossible heist" involving the Triple 9 code, 999, for "officer down". As usual there's tensions between all the other members, specifically the final, fourth member, played by Mackie. The full cast includes Kate Winslet, Aaron Paul, Norman Reedus, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Gal Gadot, Teresa Palmer and Clifton Collins, Jr. This still looks like a solid film. "Does anyone believe something big is about to go down?"
Here's the new trailer (+ poster) for John Hillcoat's Triple 9, in high def on Apple (found on YouTube):

In Triple Nine, a crew of dirty cops is blackmailed by the Russian mob to execute a virtually impossible heist and the only way to pull it off is to manufacture a 999, police code for "officer down." Their plan is turned upside down when the unsuspecting rookie they set up to die foils the entire attack, triggering a breakneck action-packed finale tangled with double-crosses, greed and revenge. Triple 9 is directed by Australian filmmaker John Hillcoat, of the films Lawless, The Road and The Proposition previously. The screenplay is by Matt Cook. The film has yet to premiere at any film festivals or otherwise. Open Road Films has John Hillcoat's Triple 9 set to open in theaters on February 26th next month. Planning to see this?

One of the cops is a bad guy, one of the bad guys is a cop. Calling it now. But still, this looks like it could be pretty great.

I'll watch anything John Hillcoat puts out there because he's never made a bad movie.

"The Proposition" was a great movie and extremely well-directed, and this is a very interesting cast (Kate Winslet?!?) but the release date makes me doubt it could be any good, and the trailer is cluttered and vague and doesn't tell us anything much. Usually a February release date is an extremely bad sign for anything. January and February are traditionally when studios dump their worst garbage and hope nobody notices. This is only starting to change a little in recent years with everyone scrambling to avoid other crowded dates (as with the bizarre Kung Fu Panda 3 debacle -- although that could still turn out to be a horrible movie as well, who knows?). What does everyone think? Is this going to be better than your usual February dumping ground garbage?
