I'm starting to run out of ideas to
recommend, I guess the only way to describe it is that I have critic block or I
don't feel like it. But luckily one movie I truly recommend is still on Netflix
and to be honest if there's any movie I would recommend this summer it would be
Hell or High Water. A fantastic modern western really that takes a big look on
the modern world, and the idea that its about two brothers who are trying to
save their mothers ranch by robbing the banks of the people who happen to own
that piece of land is truly an amazing touch to add and yet I still don't
understand why this film didn't win any awards at the Oscars for 2016. Moreover
the film itself has some great list of actors along with Jeff Bridges, Chris Pine
and Ben Foster, so you really can't go wrong with these performances in this
great western tale about not having your own follow in the same footsteps as
you have.
Toby (Chris Pine) is a divorced father who's trying to make a better life for
his son. His brother Tanner (Ben Foster) is an ex-convict with a short temper
and a loose trigger finger. Together, they plan a series of heists against the
bank that's about to foreclose on their family ranch. Standing in their way is
Marcus, a Texas Ranger (Jeff Bridges) who's only weeks away from retirement. As
the siblings plot their final robbery, they must also prepare for a showdown
with a crafty lawman that’s not ready to ride off into the sunset.
Why I like this movie so much mainly its written by the same guy Taylor
Sheridan who also written and directed by Wind River, so there's another movie
you defiantly need to watch. But what makes this movie amazing is that its
about being poor all your life and being able to do whatever it took make a
better life for your own kin and not letting them follow in the same footsteps
as you've walk in furthermore the decision's you made along the way. Moreover
what's not to love about two brothers sticking it to Bank that's trying to
foreclose your own home? Now I'm not saying all of the characters in the movie
are good in the way people think, but if I had to pick the true villain in this
movie it would be Jeff Bridges character mainly reason's why is that he
embodies everything about doing things by the book and always looking down on
people and judging them for having done the wrong things and not letting them
go, and the best way to describe his character is that in one scene he
interrogating a waitress who seen and talked to Chris Pine's character and
mentions that he left a good two hundred bucks for a tip and Bridges character
says he needs that money for evidence but the waitress says no and still says
no because she's using that for her own kids, and I think that what describes
his character is that he's more about the law than trying to make a living that
people in the state of Texas are still trying to struggle on making. Chris Pine
to me is the protagonist in the movie the same with Ben Foster, even though
there both different in their own motives, Pine's character is really driven in
making a better life for his two sons making sure that they don't follow in the
same footsteps as he made, and if you don't believe that's what makes a good
father then I don't know what is. Ben Foster on the other hand is an ex-convict
with a huge but mild temper though with all his major flaws he's still able to
help his own brother because that's what family does despite being raised the
wrong way. Along with some great visual scenery by Ben Mackenzie and with a
fantastic screenplay by an amazing writer of Taylor Sheridan comes and amazing
movie. And so that's basically the many things why I love this movie and
consider it one of the many greatest movies of all time for me, so if you have
a Netflix account I would suggest watching it right now.
