Hell or High Water
David Mackenzie’s sun-bleached Texas noir follows two brothers—hothead ex-con Tanner and desperate father Toby—robbing branches of the very bank threatening to foreclose on their family ranch. Driven by Taylor Sheridan’s razor-sharp screenplay and Giles Nuttgens' parched cinematography, the film crackles with mordant humor, economic desperation, and sudden, lethal violence. Chris Pine and Ben Foster establish electric fraternal chemistry, trading biting insults while fleeing Jeff Bridges’ hound-dog Texas Ranger. For viewers tracking down movies like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, this stands as the ultimate modern equivalent, swapping train cars for drive-through bank branches while retaining the tragic nobility of doomed, quick-witted outlaws outpaced by corporate progress.
