The movie polarized critics and audiences, and was a box office disappointment, grossing USD 25 million against its USD 20 million production budget. The plot involves criminals Michael Atwood, a former Navy SEAL, Russell Welch and his brother Gabe Welch, and corrupt cops Marcus Belmont and Franco Rodriguez. Michael and his crew rob a bank to retrieve a safe deposit box. The box contains information that could overturn the recent conviction of a Jewish-Russian Mafia boss. The group decides to go forward with the job, but are stopped by Michael and Jeffrey Allen, a Sgt. in the police force working on the bank robbery case. Michael is later revealed to have a family relationship: the mother of Michael’s son is Irina’s sister; nonetheless, Irina refers to Michael as a “monkey’s” After being beaten by her henchmen, Michael walks back to his car and triggers a bomb that was wired into his gift, killing Irina and her thugs.
In the aftermath, Marcus survives but is in critical condition. As they think of ways they can pull it off, Marcus and Franco suggest a Triple 9 scenario, which involves an officer down call that sends all of the police to the location of the incident, with Marcus nominating his new partner, Chris Allen, as the cop to be killed. On the day of the heist, Marcus takes Chris to an abandoned housing project to meet an informant with information on their homicide case. As the two head to their respective cars, Chris is seen clutching his holstered weapon, clutching his head. Chris finds a note in the wallet of Luis Pinto, which contained the location where Luis’s wallet was found the day before he was killed. Luis flees the projects and is later shot dead by SWAT after barricading himself in a nearby home. After investigating Luis’s belongings at the morgue, Chris later finds out that he had met the man on the day he was shot.
