Eric Kohn indieWire Just as it taps into a dying corner of American society, Hell or High Water resurrects the power of western mayhem done right. Rated: B+ Dec 31, 2016 Full Review Donald Clarke Irish Times We will never get another Howard Hawks or Raoul Walsh, but, every now and then, we see a film that pays homage to their spirit. Rated: 4/5 Dec 28, 2016 Full Review John Wenzel Denver Post This neo-Western works splendidly as a self-contained tale of loyalty, loss and redemption, with polished turns from a smoldering Chris Pine and spunky Ben Foster. Rated: 3/4 Dec 14, 2016 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film Mackenzie is a forced to be reckoned with and I, for one, cannot wait to see where his career goes after seeing this film. Rated: A Aug 19, 2024 Full Review Zach Pope Zach Pope Reviews Almost a perfect movie that delivers fantastic performances Aug 7, 2023 Full Review Peter Bell Vague Visages We live in a grey world, which is likely to become cloudier.
