All of the performers in this film, right down to the bit players, are quite good, but Bridges demonstrates yet again that he is one of the finest actors in America.

From a purely narrative perspective, there's nothing new here but like a new arrangement of a familiar tune, the slight changes make it fresh and enjoyable.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

Hell or High Water isn't just a great time at the movies, it's one of the year's best pictures.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star

Scenic, well-paced and rich in dialogue and character, the film is Coen brothers for the squares, and maybe the best middle-of-the-seat drama of the summer.
Brad Wheeler, Globe and Mail

The cast is uniformly magnificent, but it's Pine who steals the movie.
