John Hillcoat makes manly movies. “Triple 9” is a masculine moving-picture, for men, at the multi-plex—but more so in the man-cave. Don’t spend $13.50 of moolah; wait for it on Netflix. Best thing about “Triple 9”—Casey Affleck.

Bungled Bank Bust

Several masked men enter an Atlanta bank during working hours and break into a safe deposit box. Very “Heat”-like. They would appear to make a clean getaway.

Except, of course, somebody got greedy and grabbed gratuitous cash, which included a crimson smoke bomb. “Boom!” Off it goes inside their getaway van, making them look like a bunch of cherry-colored amateurs.
