Hell or High Water (2016)

In August 2016, director David McKenzie gave us a satisfying modern Western focusing on two bank-robbing brothers played by Chris Pine and Ben Foster nabbing banks all over Texas with at least one Texas Ranger hot on their trail played by Jeff Bridges. 

This movie proves that Hollywood CAN still make good old-school films like this!  It was also written by Taylor Sheridan as part of his “Frontier Trilogy” between Sicario and Wind River.

This film nabbed four Oscar nominations, including for Best Picture which is of course lost the award that year to La La Land….wait sorry....I mean Moonlight...
