Triple 9

     When it comes to cop films, for the most part, I tend to be a huge fan. When this came out, I was not very sure what to expect from it because there was such little press for it.     A professional group of thieves lead by Michael Atwood (Chiwetel Ejiofor) does the biding of Irina Vlaslov ( Kate Winslet). The guys want out of her buiding, but her being a big player in the Russian mafia, she gets what she wants. She drags the crew into a final heist with a huge payoff, what could possibly go wrong?        The biggest thing that hurt this film was the scope was so huge for this film with how many characters it has. It is hard to care or, for that matter get to know any Of the characters when the time spent with them is so short. On top of that, this film does not go in any new directions for the crime thrillers.

The editing is fast to try and cause discomfort. The cinematography has a lot of medium and close ups to show the emotion and destruction of it all. The co- director of the film really is the key to this. Ray Mendoza was part of the operation depicted in the film. If you want to get authent...

Transporter Refueled

     Before going into this I had no thought on this being at all good with the role of Frank Martin now in the hands of Ed Skrein. I ended with most bad, some not so bad. In this new installment Frank takes a job with a mysterious lady thinking all will be fine till his father, Frank Sr.(Ray Stevenson) is kidnapped. Honestly, going any further then that would spoil what little plot there is.    In the end it really is a toss as to how you look at the movie. I will not deny it has a few interesting fight scenes but the story offers nothing new in terms of Transporter story line. Maybe they will do better next time.    GRADE: D+
