David MacKenzie's rough but restrained crime-thriller Hell or High Water hits Irish screens today. Taking place across a vast expanse of West-Texan landscape and moral grey area, it's been hailed as "the best film of 2016 so far" by Forbes and a "modern masterpiece" by Shortlist magazine. Driven by a pensive and compelling script from Sicario screenwriter Taylor Sheridan, McKenzie drags that most American of genres, the western, into the modern day… guns blazing. Check out the brand new clip here, featuring Chris Pine and Ben Foster as bank robbing-brothers Toby and Tanner Howard:
Two brothers (Pine and Foster) resort to a calculated bank robbery spree that puts them on a collision course with a veteran Texas Ranger (Bridges) determined to take them down.
Beautifully shot, expertly paced and featuring an endearing performance loaded with surly wisdom from Bridges, this taut neo-western is not to be missed.
