Review of Hell or High Water (2016) by Javierguarnido — 01 May 2017

American film directed by David Mackenzie and starring brilliantly by actors Jeff Bridges, Chris Pine, Ben Foster, in the lead roles. A modern twilight western that delves into social problems, where evictions and family are part of a plot that becomes at times of rabid topicality.

Sweeping photography where the Texan desert forms part of a larger character and whose general plans and sunsets on the porches of the houses make up the essential elements within the classic western genre. This mix can not be lacking thefts and persecutions by the authority, acquiring a shade of "road movie". Although the protagonists are the thieves, the film leaves its brushstroke of who are the real artificers who steal in today's society and remain unpunished, and are none other than the banks themselves.
