Review of Hell or High Water (2016) by Ginak — 25 Aug 2016

A dull film about mainly uninteresting people. One critic I read mentioned “Bonnie and Clyde” when reviewing this film, and I wonder what he was smoking. Ben Foster and Chris Pike do a good job with the two main characters, but their real motivations were murky until the very end when things finally got interesting.

But that was more the scriptwriter’s fault and not theirs. Jeff Bridges played the Jeff Bridges character and I read he was “foul-mouthed.” I found his “joshing” with his partner highly offensive and racist.

If you love clichés and despair, this is the movie for you.
