65.) Hell or High Water [9/10/2016]

I loved this movie. Chris Pine, Ben Foster and Jeff Bridges were great. The writing was great. It was shot with deft subtly. I can't recommend this movie highly enough.

Set in Texas, it follows the exploits of two down-on-their-luck brothers (Pine and Foster) as they pull a series of small heists. The robberies catch the attention of two Texas Rangers (Bridges and Gil Birmingham), and the two groups of people set about trying to accomplish contrary goals: find financial freedom and stop the bad guys. The characters separate motivations unfold during the game of cat and mouse to complicate the viewer's sympathies, and the film resists simple catharsis.

Again, I could go on about this movie, but I don't want to spoil it. Go see it. A great film with a great cast and crew.
