Imagine Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid but with the horses replaced with cars then you have Hell Or High Water. The story see a couple of brothers (Ben and Chris) decide to go on a bank robbing spree in order to raise some money fast. Ben, the brains, and Chris, the muscle, take on a near-to-retirement copper (come on script writers … do all older cops need to be retiring?), Mr. Clauson, as he goes on one last crusade to track them down. Mr Clauson’s banter with his Indian partner, Alberto, is often excellent and explores how white men view native Americians. Ben and Chris similarly have creative exchange of opinions and are always a pleasure to watch. Ultimately it’s a old story however with its strong script and performances it elevates itself above a straight retell. |
