Review of Hell or High Water (2016) by N_Hibberd — 13 Sep 2016
A superbly written screenplay and Oscar-worthy performances from Pine and Foster playing two brothers forced into crime by their economic situation (which I will not spoil as it adds emotional impact as the story develops), make this one of the best films of 2016.
The slow and methodical cuts add richness and realism to the dialogue scenes, whilst the setting is authentic and complements the tone of the film. The small doses of humour spread throughout this film are surprising, yet come across as incredibly genuine and natural.
Most of the levity coming from the interplay between Jeff Bridges and the outstanding Gil Birmingham as the two Texas rangers on the hunt the brothers. Absolutely excellent.
