Hell or High water(2016) has been nominated for 4 Oscars and stars Chris Pine(Star Trek), Ben Foster(Inferno), and Jeff Bridges(True Grit). The story is about a divorced father and his ex-convict brother commit a series of bank robberies to save their family's ranch.
The characters in this film is very recognizable, and the lines make lots of hilarious moments in it. The right is Toby, the divorced man, also the one who comes up with the whole robbery scheme. The left is Tanner, Toby's older brother, and he has the boldness and experience to control the situation while carrying out the robberies.
These two are Texas Rangers who chase after the brothers. Though
Hamilton(the left one) often jokes on his partner's Indian identity, they still care about each other, and the jokes is just a part of their daily life. The audience won't feel uncomfortable about the "racist jokes" in this movie since the lines are well-designed, and without these conversations the movie will not complete.
In this movie, by the virtue of the director's brilliant cinematography, you can enjoy the magnificent view of American country side. The plain, the farm, and the picturesque gloaming is captured perfectly just like you watch the whole scene in the West Texas. Besides, the score is so amazing and adds lots of western feel in this film. I'd like to buy the soundtrack after watching this film.
Personally, I think Hell or High Water is one of the best movies in 2016, and the actors' performance are splendid, too(I'm glad to see that Chris Pine try to be a good actor here). Don't miss it!
I think this movie is worthwhile to be the best movie in 2016. Chris Pine showed his excellent acting skill. The director and the scenarist also showed us their talent. When I saw this movie, I felt so sad for the brother. He was not a bad guy for Trek, but he was still cruel for other people. Well, I would like to see it again now haha :)
