Hell or High Water | Ratings & Reviews

"Coming off like a Southern-fried Coen Brothers noir minus the suffocating nihilism, David Mackenzie’s ninth feature functions impressively on multiple levels. It’s a rustic, poignant tale of brotherhood, sacrifice and redemption. It’s a sobering elegy for the economically dispossessed - think 99 Homes in boot spurs and a cowboy hat. It’s also the sort of tight, terse, old-school crime drama one can imagine Don Siegel cranking out in the '70s. Whichever way you slice it, it’s a darn good flick."

"A thrillingly good movie - a crackerjack drama of crime, fear, and brotherly love set in a sun-roasted, deceptively sleepy West Texas."

VarietyVariety

"You've seen it all before - but hell, it's worth seeing again."

Time OutTime Out

"It has a straight-down-the-highway momentum, interesting stakes, and more textured character work than you can shake a stick at."

The TelegraphThe Telegraph

"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 GuardianThe Guardian

"A heady cross-between No Country for Old Men, Seven Psychopaths and 99 Homes..."

StuffStuff

"Manages to be guns-ablaze exciting, a tenterhooks thriller, a fine judge of character, and a commentary on the economic times."

New Zealand HeraldNew Zealand Herald

"This is a modern-day Western, a heist story of filial love, but unexpectedly pulsing with a deep social conscience. How brilliant."

NewshubNewshub

"As much as all four men are familiar types, the director, writer and actors imbue them with humanity, steering their arcs through tense action."

Hollywood ReporterHollywood Reporter

"Taut, tense and burnished by Jeff Bridges at his best. This is a deceptively simple tale of Texan cops and robbers that drags the Old West into the modern age."
