Hell Or High Water (2016 David Mackenzie)

A very successful film, which starts in the middle of the action (an amusing bank robbery - "The only crime you've committed so far is stupidity") then only gradually revealing what's going on. We've all seen Bonnie and Clyde so know it can only go one way, though things don't turn out quite as expected.

Very observational about the failure of the Old West and the rape of the people and economy by the banks.

Written by Taylor Sheridan (Sicario) and only his second published screenplay.
