[Strange King]

it was decent. Nothing wrong with it perse but it lacked alot and left you yearning for me. Just didnt have enough to it to be great.

7/10 solid adequate movie

This movie is fantastic, it's basically the equivalent of a modern day western.

​

Hell or High Water is a story about two brothers Toby and Tanner played by Chris Pine and Ben Foster. The brothers are trying to prevent the foreclosure of their mother’s property after her death. So they go on a bank robbing spree to pay back the money they owe while fending off the banks. Meanwhile two Texas Rangers played by Jeff Bridges and Gil Birmingham are hot on their tail looking to solve the case before the brothers can strike again. Hell or High Water is one of the best films of the year, it’s really a shame that this won’t get the mainstream recognition that it deserves. Director David Mackenzie has put himself on the map with this crime thriller, add Sheridan’s writing, there isn’t much more you can ask for a film. Ben Foster is quickly emerging as one of the best actors going right now and this is easily the best performance I’ve seen from Chris Pine. Hell or High Water is a brilliantly written cop and robber drama with a gritty style that keeps its story entertaining and down to earth. There really isn’t anything I could find to complain about and that’s never a bad thing. Go see this film while you can, nothing is going to beat it for film of the week, possibly best film of the year.

Just finished watching This for the 5th time. Hell of a movie. I say top 10 of the past 10 years. Absolutely love it

Sheridans modern American frontier trilogy are all incredible but this is best film. Love how each of them have a great 1 on 1 verbal showdown between the antagonist and protagonist (or antihero vs hero) but this one was a master class of character arcs

The arc is not new but the story was told extremely well. It is hard to make an old story feel fresh. Ben Foster and Chris Pine are never given their due. Both are very good actors. Foster I think is one of the best right now. He is like a chameleon.

It was a good watch. I had someone argue that it was better than "No country", which I couldn't agree with, but it was a fine movie.

Really I think that ended up being the big influence on the kind of rural/smalltown US thrillers set in the mid west/Rockies which have become so popular in the last 10-15 years.
