Review: Ben Affleck-starring 'Triple Frontier' effectively explores familiar territory
"Triple Frontier" is a solid, engrossing genre item with designs on being something more. It doesn't quite get there, but it does well enough along the way to make the journey worth taking.
Certainly, "Frontier's" bona fides are in good order. It is directed by J.C. Chandor, whose last film was the superlative "A Most Violent Year," and its cast is top-lined by heavyweights like Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam and Garrett Hedlund.
Chandor also shares screenplay credit with Mark Boal (Oscar winner for "Hurt Locker"),
