Hell or High Water


Jean, This is the best movie I have seen this year. It reminds me of "No Country for Old Men" without the psychotic killer. It has fine West Texas vistas of the dry, dusty landscape, two young men who need money with a time deadline, and a sheriff about to retire and wants one last big challenge. It also has some very sharp and entertaining writing. The leads are played by Chris Pine and Ben Foster. The sheriff is Jeff Bridges. It has some memorable scenes including a confrontation between an older waitress and the sheriff and his deputy in a greasy spoon steakhouse, that is classic.  Dad

P.S. The previews are:

The Accountant
American Pastoral
The Founder
Sully
