Cops and robbers and gangsters, oh my!

Released on 19 February, Triple 9 is a cracker of a bank-busting, mafia-murdering movie, boasting a truly all-star cast including Woody Harrelson, Kate Winslet, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Casey Affleck, Anthony Mackie and hurling-loving friend of JOE, Aaron Paul.

Directed by John Hillcoat (The Proposition, Lawless), Triple 9 tells the intense tale of a gang of criminals and corrupt cops who plan the murder of a fellow police officer, all so they can pull off their biggest and most daring heist yet.
