TRIPLE 9 “Huh. ‘999’ upside down is… ‘666.’ Really makes you think, you know?”
999 is the police code for an officer down, and Triple 9 is the noir-tinged story of crooked cops falling down on the job—plus maybe one or two virtuous ones. Set in an Atlanta made out of parking garages, strip clubs, and abandoned housing projects, it’s appropriately dark and seamy, and while the movie does a few things well, it doesn’t do them well enough to qualify Triple 9 as a success.
