But Star Wars has laser beams, and cute little critters and things blowing up right and left! I looked up that Hell or High Water on Rotten Tomatoes and there was a comment there that it "eschews mindless gunplay", and I thought to myself, hey this sounds pretty good, till I looked up what eschews means. Then it just sounded boring. I guess you're one of those artsy types that sit through those 3 hour foreign films with the words at the bottom where all they do the whole time is smoke and brood and have flashbacks.
ok that one had me chuckling.
Hell or High Water is not a bang bang shot em up for the dumb male the violence is much more measured and for me more impactful. I can roll with most movie genres but I do like something that is well written and and really dig it when the acting is good. Jeff Bridges role is worth the price of admission. The pace might be a bit slow for action buffs but IMO it is pitch perfect for this plot.
