Hell or High Water was released in 2016 and is written by Taylor Sheridan as part of his “American Frontier” trilogy. The other films being Sicario and Wind River. It is a modern-day western set in West Texas and follows a pair of brothers as they attempt to rob several branches of the Texas Midlands Bank. Why is this one of our favorite movies?
