SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie

ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

williameger Goofs: "During a scene near the very end of the movie, multiple pump jacks can be seen on the ranch property, but no tanks for storing the pumped oil."I live in SW Oklahoma just a little NW of the Wichita County, TX oil fields. The storage tanks are very often not located in proximity to the wells. This "goof" is not correct.

betty dalton "Hell or High Water" has got a revenge theme suitable for these days, where banks keep the hard working class poor. Now the poor start robbing the banks to provide a financial future for their kids. Sort of a modern Robin Hood version, if you were to look at it in perspective. Robin Hood stories have been made before and better and with more humor. Probably Jeff Bridges is supposed to be the dude that provides the fun part, but he overdoes it. Can't take him too seriously as a character. I hate that when actors act too much like a stereotype. This movie could have been better. Now it is average to reasonably good. Not great, but certainly not bad either. That could be my whole review. Had it been the Coen Brothers then EVERYTHING from soundtrack to photography to acting would have been excellent. Had it been the Coen Brothers. Watch "No Country for Old Men" instead of this flick, you will be in for a real treat. But it aint the Coen Brothers who made this flick, it's director MacKenzie. Who's that you might ask? I wonder too. Thanks to MacKenzie I have watched just an average heist movie, which had much more going for it. Still it was satisfying to watch. But it nags a little, that it could have been much better and in the end I feel a little empty. Is that all? That's the problem with films that take themselves too seriously. You gotta deliver when you aim for something great and classic. They didnt deliver...It is a wannabe classic. Nothing is more frustrating than second place when you aim for first.

alexandruvelciu I simply cannot understand how this movie got nominated for Best Picture Oscar !!! I got bored in the first 20 minutes like never before !!!! The fact that its screenplay got also nominated for Oscar simply gives me ghoosebumps ! This only confirms me that academy awards (doesn't worth capitalising anymore) it's only politically and financially infuenced ! SPOILER ALERT !!!Can someone explain me how the little brother didn't end up arrested in the end of the movie ?? With dozens of witnesses, and even him identified by policemen after splitting cars ?! Simply unreal !!! I could rewrite this movie screenplay while going to toilet in a single morning and improve it !And what really scares me the most are other users ratings and its rating on IMDB. But I guess this is what 21st century is all about: LYING, LYING and keep LYING all the time, on TV, in media, in movies, on blogs.... LIE as much as you can :)

ufgm19 A very uninteresting story. Its very slow and probably the worst movie I have ever seen. This is about two brothers robbing banks...The direction is poor and so is the acting. This film has no story...its just long and boring. When will we see good quality films again? I guess those days are gone.
