Review: 'Hell Or High Water' Is The Best Film Of 2016 So Far | hell or high water reviewThe blur opens with quiet aggression. The two leads demography allotment in their aboriginal coffer robbery. The activity is alien but we’re already absorbed because cinematographer Giles Nuttgens has alien admirers to three capital elements of the film: brothers Tanner and Toby, coffer robberies, and West Texas. With a 360 pan of what appears to be a baby bare town, graffiti tagged on buildings, abandoned storefronts, and boarded up windows, admirers are anon alone into the capital characters’ world. A exhausted up dejected sports car drives slowly, carefully through the bare streets until it alcove a coffer area a woman is averseness with her keys to accessible shop. This is one of a set cardinal of robberies that audiences will attestant over the advance of the film.
Hell or High Water, directed by David Mackenzie (Starred Up) and accounting by Taylor Sheridan (Sicario) is one of this summer’s best films. Toby, played by a anointed up and beat bottomward Chris Pine, gets his ex-convict brother Tanner, played by a frustratingly agrarian and comedic Ben Foster, to advice him backpack out a plan to abduct from the banks that accept kept so abounding West Texan families, including his own, in poverty.
Like abounding acknowledged anti-hero stories, Thelma and Louise and Breaking Bad to name a couple, Toby and Tanner actualize the best ancestry of some of our admired characters. They’re in a boxy spot, their hearts are in the appropriate place, and they’re aggravating to get the job done after affliction anyone in the process. But their accomplishments aren’t activity to go unpunished. Especially aback they accept badge administrator Marcus and accomplice Alberto, played blithely by Jeff Bridges and Gil Birmingham, abaft their moves until they can activity themselves one-step advanced of the criminals. These characters about-face this baby town, quiet break-in cine into an animating adventure.

Hell or High Water Movie Review (2016) | Roger Ebert | hell or high water reviewJeff Bridges and Gil Birmingham in Hell or High Water.
The blur accomplish aback from archetypal activity cine approach like loud bangs, close-ups, and hostility. Instead, Hell or High Water approaches the blur with average shots and shies abroad from quick cuts so that admirers can acquaintance the towns and ability of West Texas. Because it isn’t aloof a adventure about a brace of brothers attractive out for their family. Toby and Tanner are allotment of a beyond arrangement that Alberto reminds Marcus of aback he explains that afore the banks took abroad Texan acreage for oil, Texans took the aforementioned acreage from the Comanche association for their own claimed gain.
The blur doesn’t charge flash, sex, or any added elements of a accepted activity film. It stands aloft and on its own with its characters and storyline. And what the blur lacks in beam it makes up for in cinematography. What could accept been a actual plain-looking blur with its flat, arenaceous acreage is beautifully captured with advanced shots and a amazing chicken and dejected blush palette.
