Hell or High Water is one of the most perfectly written movies ever made… and somehow nobody talks about it. We break down how Taylor Sheridan built the dying cowboy way of life directly into the DNA of this film and why every single character, even the smallest ones, feels like somebody you actually know. We talk about Jeff Bridges delivering one of the best performances of his entire career as a retiring ranger who can't quite let go. We get into Ben Foster's insane method acting and the wild lengths he goes to for every role he takes. And we discuss how this movie got four Oscar nominations and walked away with nothing, which honestly just makes us more pissed off about it.Chapters:00:00 Announcements & intro0:54 Some of the most real characters on screen11:41 The theme effects every part of this movie17:33 The coolest side character there is19:45 Chris Pine stepping out of the usual22:39 Breaking down the opening scene26:17 The beautifully bad brotherly love30:47 Ben Foster's insane method acting practices42:47 No Country vibes45:28 The perfectly written dialogue47:57 In praise of Jeff Bridges53:23 2016 tough year to win an award56:00 How Taylor Sheridan wrote this movie59:09 A complete rushed production1:02:39 Smart editing choices in this movie1:06:11 Townsfolk have never been more ready1:15:09 Our final thoughts
