Hell or High Water
Directed by David Mackenzie
- Joe G24 december 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.
