Review of Hell or High Water (2016) by Metafilmjunkie — 06 Dec 2016

A premise that we've seen hundreds of times before, but not like this. I was expecting Hell or High Water to be another generic western, but it exceeded my expectations. Phenomenal performances from Jeff Bridges, Chis Pine, and Ben Foster-who I hope will be nominated for an Oscar.

I loved the music, for being a country lover myself. The cinematography was beautiful, Giles Nuttgens really captured the beauty of the countryside. The script was tight and engrossed me into the movie.

And I loved the chemistry between Ben Foster's and Chris Pine's character, they really showed the sibling love these two characters have for each other. I also loved Jeff Bridges and Gil Birmingham's chemistry, I enjoyed how their characters would criticize each other in that funny way.

Hell or High Water is one of this years best films, I hope it gets nominated for multiple Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor (Ben Foster) Best Cinematography, and Best Original Music Score.
