Hell or High Water

Texas set drama charting the course of two brothers who commit a series of bank robberies in order to redeem their heavily mortgaged family farm from a rapacious bank intent on its seizure. Starring Jeff Bridges and Chris Pine, the film is gritty and convincing if perhaps a little slow. Bridges is first rate as a grizzled Texas Ranger on his last case and Pine shapes up well also, but perhaps the star turn is given by Ben Foster who plays Pine's psycopathic brother, who is weirdly endearing as well as palpably nuts.
Made in the Lone Star mould this film deserved its place in the Oscar nomination list for best film and is well worth a watch when it appears on cable or Netflix - give it a whirl.
