Hell or High Water might be the most adult film I've seen this decade. No gimmicks. No juvenile tendencies. No bull. No cheap shots. It's a Deep Fried Wild West Western Texas Noir, filmed in New Mexico, but it's Texas to the bone.
Jeff Bridges is the cop. Chris Pine is the robber. However, they're both duel-protagonists. The outlaw in me wanted Mr Pine to win the duel. While my conscience cheered on Mr Bridges. Both, have polar opposite partners. Pine's is his brother, played by Ben Foster. While Bridges' is his Native-American Texas Ranger partner portrayed by Gil Birmingham. Some of the most realistic dialogue I've heard on the screen comes from the back and forth banter from each…
jeff bridges in this sounds like he swallowed ten tiny tom hardys and gained their combined mumbling powers
I needed this movie. A reminder thrillers don’t have to be dumb, and smart movies don’t have to be boring.

72/100
With an overwhelming, potent sense of finality, Hell or High Water weaves its landscape and characters together, each contributing to the desolation of this modern western revamp. It was a funnier, gentler, more assured movie than I was expecting, with the comedy - frenzied mistake after mistake - sharpening little moments of action and humanity. It's a zombie apocalypse picture, the roaming undead replaced by living survivors of circumstance, poverty, and lifestyle, but it's also mournful of the figures who wander the tired plains and fields. A solid little firework crime thriller interested more in the aftermath of pops and crackles than in the rattling fury of explosions.
Cowboy shit.
Remember feeling a bit hung up on some of the broad sentimentality and underlined Themes the last time I watched this but there's just something so disarmingly old-fashioned and economical about it that's really stuck with me. Mackenzie has a good sense of rhythm and suspense; the dual-hangout structure lulls you into a sense of quaint community charm but then it layers in the socio-economic periphery detail so that when the two POVs collide into each other head first in an abrupt, brutal portrait of outmoded men doomed to put each other in the ground before making a dent in their surroundings it feels sudden and painful and entirely inevitable. Really struck by how much the violence stings…
Saw this with Will R first quarter, first time at Landmark. Definitely one of my favourites of the past year. Well shot, well written, well acted. Super badass with a soft side to it. Should have received a bit more attention in my opinion.
Chris Pine and Ben Foster are freaking amazing in this film. This is my fourth time watching this film, and it just keeps getting better the more that I watch it. Excellent direction by David Mackenzie and perfect cinematography by Giles Nuttgens. I wish more films like this would be made. One of my favorites films of 2016.

Wir sind keine Großstadtcowboys oder irgendwelche Texas-Öl-Magnaten oder Großviehzüchter wie Marvel, DC oder Hollywoods aus dem Boden schießenden Kopien wie Fortsetzungen, Remakes, Prequels und was weiß ich Hauptsache ihre Limousinen überrollen einen. Wir sind ehrlich, geerdet, nahe beim Manne und auch der Frau. Unser gegebenes Wort bedeutet etwas. Weil wir selbst wissen und es bewahren, das Wort eines Mannes ist gleichgesetzt mit seiner darin beweisenden Ehre ob er sich auch daranhält oder eben nicht.
Wir begannen als kleiner Arthouse-Film – unser Budget, lächerliche 12 Mio. US-Dollar. Doch nein, eigentlich begannen wir mit der sagenumwobenen Black Liste im Jahre 2012 mit uns auf dem obersten Treppchen. Zweitausendzwölf und erst im Mai…
A long time ago your ancestors was the indians until someone came along and killed them. Broke em down made you into one of them. 150 years ago all this was my ancestors land. Everything you could see, everything you saw yesterday. Until the grandparents of these folks took it. Now it's been taken from them. Cept it ain't no army doin' it, it's those sons of bitches right there. points at the Bank.
The smallest of stakes for a heist movie but seemed bigger considering the circumstances post 2008 financial crash. This follows the same playbook we’ve seen before but it felt really grounded, from the amazing characters to the sun baked West Texas setting, everything about this felt so real and relatable. This is a neo-western thriller that keeps you engaged all the way till the credits roll
