If you watch a lot of Netflix films, you may have noticed the original movies they’ve been producing have been getting a lot better. This trend continues with directorJ.C. Chandor’sTriple Frontier. Loaded with some fantastic actors -Ben Affleck,Oscar Isaac,Charlie Hunnam,Garrett Hedlund, andPedro Pascal– the action-thriller, written by Chandor andMark Boal(The Hurt Locker,Zero Dark Thirty), centers on a group of former Special Forces operatives that decide to steal a South American drug lord’s money. However, while you’ve seen a ton of movies about a group of people that decide to do a big heist, what’s refreshing aboutTriple Frontieris most of the film takes place after they’ve done the job. Trust me; if you have Netflix, you absolutely want to check this movie out. For more on Triple Frontier, you can readVinnie Mancuso’s revieworwatch the trailer.
Shortly after seeing the film, I got to sit down with Charlie Hunnam and Garrett Hedlund. They talked about working with second unit directorGuy Norris(his incredible resumehere) and his emphasis on practical stunts without CGI, how the film features stunts you’ve never seen before, why Netflix is so great for the consumer and for people that don’t live near a movie theater, their thoughts on whether or not Netflix films should be eligible for Academy Awards, and more.
Check out what they had to say in the player above and below is exactly what we talked about.
