Hell or High Water (2016, USA) cert. 15

 Director: David Mackenzie

Stars: Ben Foster, Chris Pine, Jeff Bridges, Gil Birmingham

Two men in ski masks rob a small branch of a Texan bank.  They are brothers (Foster and Pine).

They are trying to keep their late mother’s farm out of the clutches of the very same bank!

Seeking to figure out the brothers’ next move are another odd couple: an old-school cop approaching retirement (Bridges) and his long-suffering Native American/Mexican partner (Birmingham).

Expertly combining frantic action, wisecracking humour and family drama, Hell or High Water also has a strong element of social commentary, highlighting how ruthless modern capitalism is wreaking havoc upon the small-town West.

Review (Guardian): here includes a link to the trailer and extends into a discussion lamenting the changing style of Hollywood output,
