In Atlanta, Russian Jewish mob boss' wife Irina (Kate Winslet) is working to get her husband out of prison. A group of criminals and corrupt cops are working for her with some duress. Brothers Gabe (Aaron Paul) and Russell Welch (Norman Reedus), and Michael Atwood (Chiwetel Ejiofor) are the criminals. Marcus Belmont (Anthony Mackie) and Franco Rodriguez (Clifton Collins, Jr.) are the cops. Marcus has new partner Chris Allen (Casey Affleck) who he wants to manufacture a police down Triple 9 scenario. Chris' uncle Jeffrey Allen (Woody Harrelson) is investigating the crew.
The movie is chaotic. The story is messy. It is overflowing with characters which only keeps the movie in confusion. There are great actors involved but it would be nice to give them space and time to work. There are some good action although sometimes it could be grittier and tougher. It tries for hard action and it succeed in some parts. The movie would work so much better with fewer leads and a tighter script.
