![]() Toby ( Chris Pine) and Tanner ( Ben Foster) are brothers, and in their minds they have damn good reason to be doing what they’re doing. As they race off in their getaway car, a sporty scuzz-mobile that seems to be advertising the fact that they’re crooks, we think we’re watching a pop genre movie about violent losers who are too reckless for their own good. But “Hell or High Water” settles into something quite different. ![]() One of them, it’s clear, is a wild boy who’s enjoying the robbery a little too much. The film opens, as so many underworld sagas have, with a bank robbery: At a Texas Midlands branch in the middle of a flyspeck town, two guys in ski masks wave their guns around and grab the cash from behind the teller windows. ![]() “ Hell or High Water” is a thrillingly good movie - a crackerjack drama of crime, fear, and brotherly love set in a sun-roasted, deceptively sleepy West Texas that feels completely exotic for being so authentic.
