14. Triple 9
Pitch: Dial 911 For Murder Cast & Crew: John Hillcoat (Dir), Aaron Paul, Casey Affleck, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kate Winslet & Woody Harrelson Plot: In this tough thriller a group of corrupt cops, led by Ejiofor, are blackmailed into pulling off a seemingly impossible heist. The only way it can be done is to murder a rookie cop (Affleck) across town as a distraction Reasons to be excited: John Hillcoat revisits ground not explored since his debut The Proposition, with another moral dilemma at the heart of the story. Rather than kill your own brother though Triple Nine focuses on the killing of a brother-in-arms. Expect Hillcoat to mine every drop of drama with kinetic and violent action scenes breaking the tension. Triple Nine also has one the best casts of the year with additional support from Michael Pena, Anthony Mackie and Norman Reedus. Release date: February 2016
