Set almost entirely in South America, the film follows a team of special forces operatives who reunite in South America to forego the most ambitious and challenging mission of their lives: robbing one of the most dangerous cartels in the world
Now in the hands of lesser-known filmmaker, Triple Frontier could have been just another heist movie
But with a talented filmmaker like Chandor, who has already delivered with sharply crafted dramas like Margin Call and A Most Violent Year, one can expect the film to deliver on the story and the plot
But the main draw of the film has to be the terrific all-star cast featuring the likes of: Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, Pedro Pascal and Garrett Hedlund
No heist movie is complete without an all-star cast and watching these talented actors play off each other should be fun to watch
The trailer itself gives us a background into the lives of our main characters and how they were motivated to take this dangerous leap of faith: “You’ve been shot five times for your country and you can’t even afford to send your kids to college,” says Isaac’s character Pope
“If we had accomplished half the things that we’ve accomplished in any other profession, we’d be set for life,” he continues
But the crux of the trailer still focuses on the potentially tricky heist the characters have to execute, set against the backdrop of the ‘triple frontier’ border between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil, which just so happens to be where the cartel is housed
Triple Frontier seems like something that all fans of the action movie genre will enjoy
And looking at the trailer, a number of elements – particularly the action-sequences – seem very reminiscent to Denis Villenueve’s slick action-thriller Sicario from 2015
At the same time, the film should be something that fans of the Netflix original series Narcos will be interested in
At any rate, it definitely seems like something truly exciting worth making time for
Triple Frontier hits Netflix and select cinema screens on March 19, 2019
