Hell or High Water Ratings & Reviews
- mickerdooMarch 17, 2026Other than a couple scenes, this has to be the slowest burning bank robbery film I've seen. Give me the action. Save the drama.
- hol483October 24, 2025Ended with a whimper, but made you think. Overall, very entertaining.
- alexvla8January 13, 2026Overexposure? Good Drinking Bud? Good Robbing banks? Good
- Pascal BollierJanuary 9, 2026good stuff. great performances all around. had a particular wtf moment. execptional sound design. the ending is, well, what i consider typical sheridan fare in the sense that he does not care about writing am actual ending
- Mr CthulhuMay 7, 2025Fantastic Neo-Western. Clever & superb acting all round. Highly recommended.
- VandytJanuary 4, 2026A crime thriller set in rural West Texas. ‘Intense’ would be the word—serious and well-developed, with above-average performances from Foster and Bridges
- s0untDecember 31, 2025crazy tense movie. must watch!
- Joe GDecember 24, 2025Cliché and steeped in familiar Western and shoot-’em-up tropes, offering little that feels genuinely new. This feels like it was pitched as No Country for Old Men mixed with Heat, and it clearly tries to operate in that space but never reaching those standards. The film leans into strange racial dialogue that never quite works, and its message is stated so plainly it feels overly instructional. Its treatment of guns and concealed carry is especially muddled, drifting into what plays less like commentary and more like a Texan red-neck wet dream. The acting is solid but interchangeable. Chris Pine and Ben Foster are capable within a limited range, playing roles that could have been filled by almost anyone. The dialogue has moments of wit, and the film is shot competently, though nothing rises to the level of distinction. Ultimately, this plays like a modern B movie, something that might have lived at Redbox, elevated mainly by the actors attached and the buzz surrounding it. Films like The Way of the Gun and The Boondock Saints handle this kind of material with more clarity and intent. Nothing here reinvents anything, but it remains functional and mildly engaging.
- MdziegielDecember 13, 2025Fantastic movie. Ben Foster is great in theses types of roles.
- CubaneDecember 7, 2025Manages high intensity and great pacing, while also being surprisingly quotable. Another Sheridan classic.
- PumbusNovember 27, 2025Cliché, predictable, a bit boring.
- Joe KnappJune 15, 2025A pretty good movie, but the surprise for me was the sound quality. Watch this in a good home theater and you'll hear what I mean. Great sound makes better movies. The acting and effects do not disappoint.
- SoranIsOnOctober 9, 2024Jeff Bridges is so damn good. Fantastic performances all around.
