Hell or High Water

For those of you who have been following this blog, you have probably noticed that I love to follow the smaller movies.  “Hell or High Water” is one of the best of these movies I have seen this year.  The great Jeff Bridges plays a crafty Texas Ranger close to retirement in this modern western.  I enjoyed the back and forth banter he has with his partner, played by Gil Birmingham.   Chris Pine has some acting chops as one of two brothers (the other is played by Ben Foster) who resort to robbing banks for what they believe to be a noble reason.  These is some unexpected humor,  great dialogue and superb acting.  This is a gritty movie, that should be depressing, but there is satisfying redemption at the end.
