If you love a hardcore 'dad movie', you can stop browsing Netflix now and jump straight to Triple Frontier. Starring Ben Affleck, Pedro Pascal, Oscar Isaac, Charlie Hunnam, and Garrett Hedlund, it's about a group of ex-military guys who are presented with the opportunity to assassinate a drug lord and quietly steal his riches for themselves. But in the vein of movies like Sam Raimi's A Simple Plan or the Coen brother's Fargo, this is about how seeing a huge sum of money just breaks people's brains – even the most disciplined and experienced people. Written by Mark Boal, a former journalist who also wrote The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty, it's a gritty, weighty thriller that also reminds me of William Friedkin's classic Sorceror.
