Time to secure the bag(s) 💰

If you are looking for a proper action film, then look no further than Triple Frontier. The name of this film comes from the area of South America where the triple border of Peru, Brazil, and Colombia collide in the Amazon forest. Netflix secured this action stud lineup consisting of Ben Affleck (Batman in Batman v Superman) as Redfly, Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron of Star Wars) as Pope, Pedro Pascal (The Mandolorian) as Catfish, Charlie Hunnam (Jax from Sons of Anarchy) as Ironhead, and Garrett Hedlund (Sam Flynn from Tron) as Ben. With these actors and Netflix's ever-growing budget, surely this would be a great movie.

It depends on what type of movies you like, but I certainly enjoyed Triple Frontier. There is plenty of gun-shooting action, bro jokes, and beautiful landscapes. My favorite part is how these guys are basically sticking it to the man for screwing them over for so many years. Let me further explain.

Pope is a private military adviser in Colombia who combats drug trafficking. His informant Yovanna has intel on a drug lord named Lorea who is held up in his safe house in the Amazon Jungle. His home is his bank, which means all of his millions of dollars of cash are sitting inside, lightly guarded. Pope sees his opportunity to get rid of Lorea and maybe get rich at the same time.

Pope travels back to the USA to recruit his Delta Force friends from years back. He wishes to seize the money under the guise of working for the Colombian government. Although all five men were once hardened warriors, their lives have calmed down in their later years. Redfly is a realtor. Ironhead is a motivational speaker. Ben (Ironhead's brother) is an MMA fighter. Catfish is a former pilot in some legal trouble.

Pope presents an offer that they cannot refuse and the boys are back in business. The idea is that these men put their lives on the line for so many years and the military has left them with little to nothing to show for it. This will be their chance to finally be fairly compensated for all of their years of nearly dying for their country.

The job is fairly straightforward and shouldn't come with any issues since they had time to scout and prepare. Upon getting to the house, they find far more money than they imagined and it turns out to be hundreds of millions. Greed starts to cause this team to have weak spots. It goes from being a simple flight out of the country to a walk through the jungle and many near misses.

Each character is dealing with their own trauma and none of these guys are used to losing. When they face near-impossible odds such as getting over the Andes, this team is pushed to their limits. As a gun-shooting video game lover, Triple Frontier was a badass film to me.

I highly recommend this one if you haven't already watched it. It's a couple of years old and most people have Netflix, but you never know, maybe you have yet to watch this one like me (until recently). Here is the trailer if you aren't convinced already.
