Hell Or High Water UK trailer and poster land: The crime drama enters UK cinemas this September.
The new Hell Or High Water UK trailer can be viewed below.
We first saw the superb Hell Or High Water in Cannes back in May, a film that we absolutely loved. Chris Pine and Ben Foster lead the cast of the film, which also includes the mighty Jeff Bridges. Well, a brand new Hell Or High Water UK trailer and poster have arrived just this morning.
The film is written by Taylor Sheridan (Sicario) and follows two brothers (Pine and Foster) who resort to a calculated bank robbery spree that puts them on a collision course with a veteran Texas Ranger (Bridges) who is determined to take them down.
In our Hell Or High Water review, we said the following.
Hell Or High Water starts off not too dissimilar in tone to one of the other great crime capers that we’ve witnessed at Cannes this week, Shane Black’s pitch black comedy The Nice Guys. At the forefront of the story, we have two characters up to their neck in it, though clearly have no clue what they’re doing. Hell Or High Water, like The Nice Guys, has a very comedic element to it, and we were, on more than one occasion, laughing out loud at the calamities that both Toby and Tanner get up to over the course of the film’s 100 minute running time. Jeff Bridges too is in full caricature mode as the rugged cowboy ranger who spouts very comedic, though almost undistinguishable dialogue (a bit like his Rooster Coburn in the True Grit remake) which almost always ends in a witty one liner. There is however, more of a darker undertone running through MacKenzie’s film, which is cemented in the film’s bloody climax – and at certain points, truly shocks.
The film runs pretty tight, a very well paced effort with some fantastic cinematography of a Texas we may not recognise at first. Gone is the dusty, rusty cowboy playground, replaced with a greener landscape, all perfectly captured with Giles Nuttgens‘ camera. The screenplay is also very, very good – what would you expect from the gifted Taylor Sheridan, the writer responsible for last year’s award favourite Sicario.
Of course, you can read the full review at the end of the link above. Check out the new poster and the new Hell Or High Water UK trailer below.
David Mackenzie directs the film, which will arrive in UK cinemas on 9th September.
