At first blush,Triple Frontierlooks like just another movie about getting the gang back together again.
Together, they venture south for a rejoining somewhere in Brazil.
The opportunity to see a certainsomeones exposed back tattoo!
(Or, actually, tonotseea certain someones back tattoo.)
But this is a mission, not a vacation: The drug lord stores his cash in his fortress-home.
Whats more, the guy never leaves the house!
Forget the job Triple Frontieris a movie about horny onscreen bromances.
(Ah, what couldve been!)
A lot of movieswanna rob, but who can milk a bromance for all its worth?
Vulture has rankedTriple Frontiers top five bromances.
Redfly now shilling shitty condos was the guys captain, and is a whiz at planning.
How good are they at press?Ben Affleck didwhisper sweet nothingsinto Charlie Hunnams ear at theTriple Frontierpremiere.
That kind of outdoes everything else.
Charlie Hunnam was play-fighting with Garrett Hedlund.
Different strokes for different folks!
Do they kiss onscreen?No.
Should they kiss onscreen?Everyone should be kissing in this movie.
Whats the final verdict?We see Charlie Hunnams fake forearm tattoo in nearly every one of hisTriple Frontierscenes.
We see Ben Afflecks real back tattoo exactly zero times.
But Im getting away from myself.
They need to be more playful and sarcastic with each other its entirely too wholesome as is.
(He is not a pope, or the pope this nickname is never really explained.)
Garrett Hedlund is Charlie Hunnams younger brother and definitely the one that is the wildest and most carefree.
Basically, their interviews make me want to pluck out my eyelashes one by one.
What were they doing during the infamous beach photo shoot?Hedlund was loving up on his bro Hunnam!
And Oscar Isaac was engaged, but mostly watching.
Should they kiss onscreen?Oscar Isaac should do a lot more kissing in more movies, so yes.
TheirTriple Frontiercharacters barely speak after the initial recruitment until an exchange during the very dramatic climax.
I cant imagine them shopping at a HomeGoods store or making dinner together.
Have the actors worked together before?Nope!
But Ben Affleck in a futureStar Wars… Do they kiss onscreen?No, but they do yell at each other a lot and very closely.
Redfly wants the money, but it compromises his honor.
Should they kiss onscreen?Yes!
Oscar Isaacs character loves Ben Afflecks character so much, even when theyre fussing!
But they love each other!
Still, their bromance is not the horniest.
Ironhead lectures soldiers whove just returned from combat.
Ben does some kind of MMA fighting for small crowds, and wears a lot of hats backward.
He just seems like the bang out.
Garrett slept on Charlies couch for a while because theyre justthatclose.
What were they doing during the infamous beach photo shoot?They were wrestling on the sand!
They were wrestling in the water!
They were wrestling with paddle boards!
They were wrestling without paddle boards!
!horny, and the only kind of athletics I care about.
(When I become a basketball wife, this post will self-destruct.)
Do they kiss onscreen?No.
It would beso weirdif they did because theyre playing brothers.
Should they kiss onscreen?I want to say no because incest is gross!
But if they did kiss this would graduate from a Netflix movie to an HBO limited series real quick.
Whats the final verdict?The Hunnam-Hedlund energy is palpable, but it is not infectious.
The best bromance needs to inspire more than voyeurism; it should inspire joy!
Pedro Pascal and Oscar IsaacWhats their characters relationship in the movie?Theyre just regular buddies.
They are the only twoTriple Frontiermen who speak fluent Spanish, so sometimes they speak in Spanish together.
Have the actors worked together before?They were in an Off Broadway play calledBeauty of the Fatherin 2005.
Isaac convinced Pascal to join the upcoming Disney+ seriesThe Mandalorian, so they are both part of theStar Warsuniverse.
How good are they at press?For better or worse, I am a connoisseur ofWireds Autocomplete Interviews.
Theres no way to fake your way through aWiredAutocomplete with someone you only half-know or half-like.
It cannot be done.
Pedro Pascal and Oscar Isaac, unfortunately for me, are perfect at this weird, dumb interview series.
They are extremely playful, extremely flirtatious, and laugh robustly at their own inside jokes.
Look at the way Oscar Isaac trains his peepers on Pedro Pascal and fact-checks him in real time.
Look at the way Pedro Pascal tells Oscar Isaac he looks like a Muppet with pronounced eyebrows.
This is the closest Ive come to the Shallow performance since the Shallow performance.
Do they kiss onscreen?Stunningly, they do not kiss.
Should they kiss onscreen?I want them to kiss.
I want them to go on long pap walks through Brooklyn.
I want them to have a podcast.
I want them to do itall!
Whats the final verdict?Pedro Pascal and Oscar Isaac … they are the mother I never had.
They are the best friend everybody deserves.
I dont know a better bromance.
I dont know a better bromance!
