In West Texas, two brothers go on a bank-robbing rampage. They are targeting the branches of one bank in particular, The Texas Midland Bank. This bank is about to foreclose on the mortgage on their ranch and claim the property, and robbing the bank to pay its own loan seems appropriate. On the trail of the brothers is a Texas Ranger, Marcus Hamilton, with only a few weeks to retirement.

    Fantastic Neo-Western. Clever & superb acting all round. Highly recommended.

    Other than a couple scenes, this has to be the slowest burning bank robbery film I've seen. Give me the action. Save the drama.

    A crime thriller set in rural West Texas. ‘Intense’ would be the word—serious and well-developed, with above-average performances from Foster and Bridges

    Overexposure? Good Drinking Bud? Good Robbing banks? Good

  • CubaneDecember 7, 2025
    Manages high intensity and great pacing, while also being surprisingly quotable. Another Sheridan classic.

    Cliché 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.

    Cliché, predictable, a bit boring.

    A 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.

    Jeff Bridges is so damn good. Fantastic performances all around.
