Hell or High Water's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
'Hell or High Water' is a thrillingly good movie ? a crackerjack drama of crime, fear, and brotherly love set in a sun-roasted, deceptively sleepy West Texas that feels completely exotic for being so authentic.
Indiewire
Grounded in lively performances by Chris Pine and Ben Foster as a pair of bank-robbing brothers, with a capable assist from a no-nonsense Jeff Bridges as the sheriff on their tail.
The Hollywood Reporter
As much as all four men are familiar types, the director, writer and actors imbue them with humanity, steering their arcs through tense action ? including a nice throwback Western shootout on rocky terrain.
The Telegraph
It has a straight-down-the-highway momentum, interesting stakes, and more textured character work than you can shake a stick at.
The Guardian
It?s an action-thriller with punch; Bridges gives the characterisation ballast and heft and Pine and Foster bring a new, grizzled maturity to their performances.
The Playlist
'Hell or High Water' might walk over familiar ground with second-hand boots in terms of character development and structural beats, but it does so with great personality and zero pretension.
