Review of Hell or High Water (2016) by Jess_Hill — 29 Oct 2016

I love a good Western, and this doesn't disappoint. The cinematography and score are excellent, and all of the performances are polished and well executed. The script is brilliant, and the storyline is a stark critique of an America which has neglected its poor for too long.

The social commentary isn't subtle, but this adds poignancy given the current debacle being played out in this election cycle, and the subtext won't be lost on anyone following the political upheaval which backgrounds the film.

This is a fine film that is well worth your time. 8.
