It is something which it is possible to do on a regular basis as you get older - and that really is the only downside, illustrated by my problems this week with the well-reviewed
I do not mind a bit of violence in films (Pulp Fiction is after all one of my favourites), and bad language in this context is simply realistic, but there needs to be a good plot. The problem with Triple 9 for me, and this is why I have confess there may be an age issue, is that I found it very difficult to hear what the actors were saying. It was certainly loud enough but not clear enough. The story may have been excellent but I found it virtually impossible to follow it.
The Jewish Russian mafia were involved, a cop was being blackmailed, other cops were carrying out crimes, and there may have been one 'goodie' cop whose police chief uncle was a sort of goodie with problems (he certainly took drugs).
Spoiler alert - I think the goodie chap triumphed in the end, most of the the baddies (dirty cops and gangsters) got shot or blown up but it was not entirely a happy ending.
I did though learn that 999 in the USA is code for a police officer being shot, hence the film's title.
2/10 but that could increase if I watch it again with subtitles.
