Thanks. I realised after the fact. It just goes to show that good storytelling is recognisable. I also realised that he was the character who took Jeff Bridges to the vantage point to take the sniper shot.

That old woman reminds me of my grandma so much! 😂 I watch reactions of this movie just for her. I miss that tough old woman. She didn't take any shit, but you knew that she always wanted the best for her family.

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. She's quite the character. She's fascinating archetype. She's everywhere. Somewhere, in some town, in some region, some distant country in the world, someone knows an old woman like this, the "old battle-axe". Among lesser actors, she would've completely stolen the scene.

One of my favorite lines is delivered by Jeff Bridges' character early on at the site of the first robbery. A fellow in a pickup tells him he'll lynch the robber(s). Bridges says to himself, "God, I love West Texas."

Such an incredible film. I feel Ben Foster should hsve received an award for this performance. But i guess Pine and Bridges were so strong that it cancelled out any consideration.So well done by all involved. And you sir are a very compelling reactor …. Subbed in a second !!!!

One of my favorites. Every performance in it was spot on. The parallel dynamic between the 2 marshals and the brothers was a master class in good character writing. The woman who played the irritable old waitress deserves an Oscar for just that small part alone. It’s truly a hidden gem.

Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. The old woman almost stole that scene, but Bridges and Birmingham gave the right energy to complement her. She was also in No Country For Old Men, if you didn't already know. She was a desk clerk in one of the motels. The writer of this also wrote Sicario, so that explains a lot.

After 8 years, I enjoyed watching Hell or High Water again. As I see it now, the characters of Jeff Bridges and Ben Foster in this film are a bit derivative taken from Jeff's Rooster Cogburn in True Grit, and Ben's role as Charlie Price in 3:10 To Yuma. Taylor Sheridan's writing style with the quick witted female lines was lifted from the modern Western of Joel and Ethan Coen's No Country For Old Men. Which BTW, was also set in West TX. Another interesting parallel is both endings left open ended with the old police chief retiring. From seeing the late model car drive up in the opening seen, it's clear this film was contemporary to its time. Because of its geographic and economic isolation, much of rural West Texas still looks like a period piece stuck in the past. There are more 30+ year old cars and trucks there than new vehicles. With that in mind, it's not surprising that a small bank there would be slow in transitioning their cameras to digital video technology. To your question about American economic stimulus, in distressed areas like West TX, the 2008 US Troubled Asset Relief Programs were offered to protect mortgages, and for Loe income families it continued through late 2023. At that time, it was common for small rural banks to advertise these programs to their customers. I had the displeasure of getting a speeding ticket in West TX in 2011. I was genuinely shocked when the fat pink faced policeman used every cliche line I heard as a kid watching Smoky And The Bandit. After 30 minutes of being harassed for having California plates, I laughed my ass off all the way back home.

Thanks for that insight. That's why I was so confused about setting, everything seemed outdated and old, like it was a period piece. May revisit Smokey and the Bandit on my own time. Haven't seen it since I was a kid. I have lots of nostalgic memories watching that VHS..

@thisisfunhouseentertainment7 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I'm assuming the "confrontation" you're talking about is the "sniper vs sniper" sequence at the end. It's definitely memorable. I wish I could have savoured Jeff Bridges's huffing and puffing a bit more, it made the character feel really grounded. Also, when Ben Foster's head kicked back when Bridges got the kill shot was so authentic. It's definitely an example of good Hollywood filmmaking, I got a real sense of the craftsmanship. I guess the only downside to it is that it's not the most re-watchable film. For me it's because it's so intense. Maybe every couple of years or so I'll revisit it.

Kinda crazy that you're a film buff but you miss the super point being made by the dialogue, facial expressions, and use of vocal tone to express that the security system is useless BECAUSE they HAVE A VCR, which is (other keywords) NOT PLUGGED IN.

That's the way reactions work, otherwise the video gets completely blocked. And for your information, what I say isn't "obvious", not for everyone. And of course, if you've seen the film what I way is going to be "obvious". If you knew anything, you'd also know that part of the appeal of reactions is to have biases affirmed.
