A story about the collision of the Old and New West, two brothers — Toby (Chris Pine), a straight-living, divorced father trying to make a better life for his son; and Tanner (Ben Foster), a short-tempered ex-con with a loose trigger finger — come together to rob branch after branch of the bank that is foreclosing on their family land.The hold-ups are part of a last-ditch scheme to take back a future that powerful forces beyond their control have stolen from under their feet. Vengeance seems to be theirs until they find themselves in the crosshairs of a relentless, foul-mouthed Texas Ranger (Jeff Bridges) looking for one last triumph on the eve of his retirement. As the brothers plot a final bank heist to complete their plan, a showdown looms at the crossroads where the last honest law man and a pair of brothers with nothing to live for except family collide.
Is a modern action drama set in West Texas where the distinction between honest men and outlaws has blurred beyond recognition so the acting is good with the most predictable characters with dense humor sense. The ambience is more likely the new Old West. Cast is full of charisma with unique personality so director David Mackenzie reflects the best moments of introspection for the plot with a shaky future. Definitely “Hell or High Water” is the odd brotherhood between two men with different behavior with tentative moral.
