Hell or High Water is a thrillingly good movie — a crackerjack drama of crime, fear, and brotherly love set in a sun-roasted, deceptively sleepy West Texas that feels completely exotic for being so authentic.
-
What Mackenzie has crafted here is a crowd-pleaser with undeniable art-house elements.
-
And Bridges? What's there to say about a man who makes it look so easy, and who - in one breathless, pivotal scene - runs through a range of emotion like a wild pony running across the land. Genius, any way you look at it.
-
In a word, Hell or High Water is terrific.
-
A rich, complex drama that’s as much about consequence and justification as it is destiny.
-
The film’s ace card is its intertwining of not one but two mismatched buddy relationships.
-
A film with a fistful of memorable moments—most of them involving Bridges hurling insults at people—but not a great deal new to say.
