Two brothers, just out of prison, have a few days to repay a loan or lose their small family holding. They decide to rob a branch of the Texas Midland Bank.

Hell or High Water was by far my favorite film of the year and the diner scene with Margaret Bowman was solid gold. #HellOrHighWater pic.twitter.com/lyKF9PDVMl

‘Hell Or High Water’ is more than just an action movie. It is a film about brotherhood, about social justice, morality and redemption. It is filmed in a subtle and empathetic manner. One almost forgets the adrenaline roller coaster ride.

The film is intense, simple and complex, not to be missed.

Enjoy.
