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.
