Hell or High Water (2016) is a beautiful grown-up Modern Western.


The moment it was over I immediately wanted to see it again.It has a darkly humorous but also rich and elegant screenplay by Taylor Sheridan, who is absolutely stunning in writing these Neo-Westerns (Sicario, Wind River). It has excellent performances throughout, Bridges absolutely nails it, so does Foster but Chris Pine's subtlety is astounding.It is a haunting movie about social anachronism and desperation. The banks, who take advantage of their locals are the bad guys (this making it even easier to root for our robbers), but the people working in the banks aren't, neither are, of course the cops. Everyone struggles, everyone feels so real and cleverly written.It's suspenseful, full of heart and anger and memorable scenery and memorable moments.What do you think about it? via /r/movies http://bit.ly/2VDLm2U
