Countless fans agree it’s one of the best modern Westerns of the 21st Century and well worth a watch when you have a free evening to raise your pulse this week.

A five-star Google review said: “A film that stays with you long after it's over. The acting is top notch by all four leads and Chris Pine shows he can really act and gives an inspired performance.

“He and Foster have great chemistry with Foster providing much of the tension and electricity and sense of foreboding as they move toward what was one of the most riveting, intense and wrenching third acts in any movie.

“Bridges as always owned the show and Birmingham proved he belongs in his company and held his own in every scene. Truly a great film.”

Someone else showered it with high praise: “I love this movie! Just watched it the second time and it was even better.

“The film grabs you and doesn't let you go. Another great example of a film that does everything right. With the length of 102 min it's just perfect. No unnecessary scenes.”

Another reviewer agreed: “Hell or High Water is a captivating neo-western crime thriller that masterfully blends elements of classic westerns with modern sensibilities.

“The film boasts compelling performances from its lead actors, Chris Pine and Ben Foster, who portray brothers driven to desperate measures to save their family's land.

“Their characters are complex and flawed, yet sympathetic, making their journey all the more engaging.”

“I was immediately drawn into its raw and gripping narrative,” yet another five-star write-up said.

“This isn't just another heist movie; it's a profound exploration of family bonds, justice, and resilience against a seemingly oppressive system.

“It resonated with me deeply, leaving a mark that made me ponder its themes long after the credits rolled.”
