“I never met nobody get away with anything, ever,” Foster’s Tanner Howard laments matter-of-factly. Everyone’s in a bind, pained or wracked by something intangible, and the environment offers no respite. Most of his lines are fed to Gil Birmingham’s half-Comanche/half-Mexican marshal Alberto Parker, a road-weary partner whose mixed race draws awkward and near-constant “teasing” from Hamilton, further underscoring Hamilton’s fading relevance.Įxcept for a couple of minor, fleeting female roles - including an underused Katy Mixon as a greasy-spoon waitress - the movie wants us to feel both sympathy and revulsion for its stoic male leads, especially Pine’s magnetic Toby. His dialogue is often endearingly hambone - imagine anyone but Bridges uttering “bopped in the snozz-olas” convincingly - but it works. In his restrained but pitch-perfect turn, Jeff Bridges plays grizzled Texas Ranger Marcus Hamilton, whose gumshoe skills come into play one last time on the eve of his retirement. Reaction Shot: Lisa Kennedy reviews “Hell or High Water” with Chris Pine, Jeff Bridges “We ain’t stealin’ from you,” Pine’s Toby Howard croaks during one of the robberies. The film follows two brothers ( Chris Pine and Ben Foster) who carry out a series of bank robberies to save their family ranch, while being pursued by two Texas Rangers ( Jeff Bridges and Gil Birmingham ). The movie’s message is unambiguous: debt relief billboards proliferate and oil wells scar ranch lands.
