TRIPLE 9 director John Hillcoat amassed a great group of talented actors while also reflecting a contemporary urban society. There are no token minorities in TRIPLE 9, and race is not an issue.

Anthony Mackie, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Clifton Collins Jr play a gang of criminals and corrupt cops planning a big heist and part of that plan includes distracting the police department with a triple 9 call which stands for officer down.
