“Triple Frontier” (*** out of four) was a nerve-wracking action melodrama about 5 ex-Special Forces soldiers (Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaacs,Garrett Hedlund, Charlie Hunnam, Pedro Pascal) who have all moved on in their lives and are settling into middle-age but reform and regroup to improve their various finances and snubs from the government to rob a millionaire cocaine cartel boss at his estate in the Amazon jungle but find there are life-altering risks every step of the way which they may not have been prepared for. Punctuated by jagged scenes of hair-raising gunplay and standoffs but what really makes this connect is the chemistry and camaraderie of all of the soldiers. Isaacs and Affleck stand out as usual in the strong cast.
