What I Watched -- Hell or High Water

S and I stumbled across Hell or High Water a few weeks back.  I had heard of it and wanted to see it at the time it came out, but it fell off my radar a while back.  So when it popped up again, I was on board.

It's the story of two brothers who, for their own reasons, go on a spree of bank robberies.  It's dark, and a little bit funny (most Jeff Bridges's character), and sweet in its own odd way.  It's a modern-day western, with the good guy chasing the bad guys, with a few more ounces of consideration given to the bad guys' motives.  Everyone, after all, is human.

Bottom line: I'm sorry it fell off the radar for as long as it did; it was worth the time.
