While watching Manchester by The sea, I did a checklist in my head about everything that was happenning to the relatives of the teenage central character and I couldn' t help but simultaneously laugh and roll my eyes.

Hell or High Water

 

 

 

 

 

One of my favorite movies of the year. A pretty much modern day western with some really good performances. Jeff Bridges is still stuck playing Rooster Cogburn though.

 

 

 

 

USER REVIEWS:

 

Texas is very much an actual character in Hell or High Water, a modern day Western that is rooted in the economic trials and tribulations of Rural America that comes as a relief after a summer mostly filled with disappointing sequels and action movies. Screenwriter Taylor Sheridan is really starting to build a name for himself between this and the also-terrific Sicario. The movie is a slowburner that keeps us invested throughout due to the attention to its characters. The acting is top-notch: Jeff Bridges is in fine form as always (that scene between him, Gil Birmingham, and the old waitress: ), while Chris Pine and Ben Foster are also excellent (Pine in particular gives a career-best performance). Sure, we've seen this kind of movie many, many times before, but rarely have they been executed this well. A-

The final scene between Pine and Bridges is probably best of the year for me.

 

It's like a climax and epilogue in one and the acting is pitch perfect from both. It's incredible how tense it feels, despite the fact that it's 'over.'

 

I've always liked Chris Pine, as in, he's better than his pretty boy looks suggest, but here, he outdoes himself. He's got a certain weariness, a yearning to be done with everything that that really shows throughout, and that's not something every actor can express through their body language.

Urgh. Whatever

[Jayhawk the Hutt]

Great movie, happy it sustained the momentum it had this Summer.

[chasmmi]

I am disappointed that Dory hasn't shown up yet either (in the 100-200th section I mean)

 

As I have only seen two (maybe 3) of the top 5, I am now more interested in the count from 99th to 26th at this point.

 

Did Handmaiden beat Wilderpeople?!?!?! 

[Ethan Hunt]

Yay for Hell or High Water...

 

Still no Hacksaw or Wilderpeople...

[misafeco]

Hell or High Water is amazing.

No way. 

[CoolioD1]

that was the exact same placement hell or high water had on the cumulative critics top 50 list. https://criticstop10.com/

you snobs!

[The Panda]

Hell or High Water is really great.  It and Wilderpeople are my interchangeable 4 and 5.

[James]

Just caught up. Can't believe Fantastic Beasts missed the list

[filmlover]

We need a spin-off from Hell or High Water of just that surly old waitress barking at customers telling them what they will order.

Also, compared to Watchmen with your mom, Deadpool is Sense and Sensibility

 

Did that, but the main complaint that the movie dragged and was a bit boring (true).  The woman owns and enjoys Sin City.

Hacksaw is my #1.

[Eevin]

Guys...what if La La Land didn't make the list and Wilderpeople actually won?

[chasmmi]

I'm starting to think I should have included hacksaw on the assumption that I would like it. 

[That One Girl]

Not enough people saw Wilderpeople.  Hacksaw Ridge was much more mainstream friendly. 

[Truckasaurus]

Deadpool wasn't even the 8th best movie of the month of February, let alone the entire year.

I will.  

 

It should be higher. 

 

 

You should probably be thankful it's on this list at all.
