A tense and twisty heist thriller movie is on TV tonight

Fans of Den of Thieves, Heat and Widows will probably enjoy this.

The film follows a gang of criminals (Aaron Paul, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Norman Reedus) and corrupt cops (Anthony Mackie, Clifton Collins Jr.) in Atlanta. They are threatened by a Russian crime lord (Kate Winslet) into taking part in a dangerous heist.

As part of their efforts to complete the job successfully, the gang plan a Triple 9 scenario. This means that they will murder a cop named Chris (Casey Affleck) at a separate location to distract the police from their robbery.

The movie also benefits from a stacked ensemble cast, including Gal Gadot, Michael K. Williams, Teresa Palmer and Woody Harrelson.

Triple 9 is airing on TV tonight on the channel Legend Xtra at 9pm. The film is also available to rent on Apple TV, Google Play, Prime Video, Rakuten TV and the Sky Store.
