Movie review: Triple Frontier

[minoanmiss]

Tonight WD indulged me with pizza, beer, and a stupid movie. The only reason I wanted to see Triple Frontier was because Oscar Isaac stars in it, but I got a couple of bonuses: Charlie Hunnam, whom I also quite like, and [spoiler] gets shot in the [spoiler]! Woot! Also, I didn't know Garret Hedlund could sing?

Anyway, it's a sausagetastic heist movie with jungle added, and fairly predictable. A large proportion of my enjoyment came from spotting tropes and mocking the goings-on, but a couple moments did actually move me and I had a very good time overall. And Oscar Isaac continues to be both talented and gorgeous.

My first question about movies like this is always "Does Oscar Isaac spend any time shirtless / with the shirt half off / unbuttoned?"

[minoanmiss]

UNFORTUNATELY NO I WAS QUITE DISAPPOINT

Garret Hedlund shows up shirtless at least

BOO, MOVIE

Imagine a ratings system: "10 min of shirtless Oscar, A+! No shirtless Oscar, C+"

(dear Oscar, you are a lovely human and fine actor and I do not mean to objectify you. But omg he's also so hot) (ahem)

This is a good criteria to choose movies xD

As heist movies go, it wasn't bad. Glad I didn't pay first-run price in a theater for it, but at least I didn't want that two hours of my life back.

I'm glad you got to squee over Oscar Isaac. My tastes in attractive people tend to run more toward musicians than actors, though. Male examples: Trent Reznor, Nick Cave, Blixa Bargeld (Einstürzende Neubauten), Peter Murphy, Peter Steele (Type O Negative), Till Lindemann (Rammstein), Glenn Danzig. (Dark and brooding and shouting into a microphone really does it for me, I guess.) Andrew Eldritch would be on the list, too, but he's so full of himself as to be Fetish Retardant.
