Triple 9 Actors Chiwetel Ejiofor and Anthony Mackie talk British vs. American Actors In TRIPLE 9, a crew of dirty cops is blackmailed by the Russian mob to execute a virtually impossible heist. The only way to pull it off is to manufacture a 999, police code for “officer down”. Their plan is turned upside down when the unsuspecting rookie they set up to die foils the attack, triggering a breakneck, action-packed finale filled with double-crosses, greed and revenge.

http://www.joblo.com - Anthony Mackie and Chiwetel Ejiofor Exclusive Interview - TRIPLE 9 (2016)
Chiwetel Ejiofor is hardly a household name, but his harrowing performance in the film "12 Year's a Slave" is beginning to change all that. He's been nominated for almost every Best Actor award this season, including an Oscar. Lee Cowan reports.
"12 Years a Slave" is a film based on the true story of Solomon Northup, a free man sold into slavery before the Civil War. Actor Chiwetel Ejiofor joins the "CBS This Morning" co-hosts to discuss the brutally honest film and the Oscar buzz surrounding it.
More from the Oscars: http://bit.ly/1fUVrzE Steve McQueen's 12 Years A Slave resisted the force of Gravity to be named best picture at the Oscars. The slavery epic also picked up awards for best adapted screenplay and best supporting actress for Lupita Nyong'o on a night when it seemed - for a while at least - that Gravity was going to sweep the board. The outer-space drama picked up a handful of Oscars for its backroom staff - many of whom are British - and the best director award for Alfonso Cuaron. But McQueen, the former modern artist-turned film-maker got his moment in the spotlight as the ceremony in Los Angeles ended in triumph for his film which is based on the story of a free New Yorker, Solomon Northup, kidnapped and sold into slavery in the Deep South of the United States. He sa...
