20 Best Netflix Original Movies Of 2019 - Ranked

9. Triple Frontier

Much like The Laundromat, Triple Frontier has one of the best casts Netflix has ever assembled, with A-tier talent like Oscar Isaac, Ben Affleck, Pedro Pascal and Charlie Hunnam all on fine form as a group of skilled soldiers pulling off a heist mission.

As good as the acting is though, the movie would be an absolute drag if the action wasn't any good, and thankfully, Triple Frontier shines in that area too.

The action is tense, well-staged and easy to follow, with a lot of slow and precise camera movements amplifying the immersion. For a movie that most people will watch on an iPhone, it's cinematic as hell, with production values as good as any major Hollywood production.

If there is a fault, it's that the story is pretty basic, and director J. C. Chandor doesn't bring much flair to proceedings, but what we do get works very well.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
