Hell or High Water should be marketed more in my opinion.
In this film, Chris Pine and Ben Foster play two brothers
that start robbing banks. At first, they
seem to not know what they are doing, but as the film goes on, we, the
audience, see that they are much more sophisticated than first identified. As they rob banks, Jeff Bridges and Gil
Birmingham take on the case to catch these men.
I expected this film to be a comedic adventure, but there
were some sentimental spots. The two
dynamic duos had great chemistry. Pine
and Foster were just like real brothers with their horseplay and insulting
jokes, but they would still protect each other.
The same goes for Bridges and Birmingham, even though they weren’t
brothers, they were partners and had a similar relationship.
All the characters had a significant flaw that hindered
their quest, whether it’d be robbing banks or trying to catch the robbers. As the film continued, we got to see the
characters develop in relation to their flaw, which made for a compelling
story.
The plot is also interesting because, true, it is your
typical robbing banks movie, but there is a deeper meaning behind the film,
which consists of socioeconomic status (SES) and how it affects the characters.
I recommend seeing this film if you want a couple laughs,
action, and some sympathy for the various characters. 4 popcorns.
