If you care for your cinematic soul in the movie apocalypse of CGI effects and soulless scripts this movie can be yours. The year is 2016 and director David Mackenzie is resurrecting the Western genre. It's the 21 century Wild-Wild-Best where the main protagonists have more to say with facial expressions, dialogue and scenes.They speak between the lines and this invisible speech penetrates the veins of your senses.
In these Texas landscapes you can see a mirror of nowadays America. This is America of the poor and the desolate.Vast land, old cars, banks which prove who are the current slaves to the system and which you can rob at least few times on the movie screen for one year. Banks that have done so much damage to humanity and nothing has changed but only aggravated.
Nevertheless, there is nothing vulgar in this movie, so do not expect Tarantino or The Good,The Bad & The Ugly. It is more Bonnie & Clyde meet the character of Michael Douglas from Falling Down. It has the feel of Blue Ruin and No Country For Old Men.The human wreckage lies in the middle of the story, that you have seen many times but this one, is so far the best and is beyond words.
The mirror of the movie can be applied to any other place in the world.The social anomaly of how sometimes you can do the craziest thing in your life because the system had failed and you are either Neo, or Noah or Tanner & Toby in this movie.The secret is to take the reins in your hands and cross through the unthinkable. Well, would you? As I said, at least do that on the screen!
Ben Foster steals the show in the brothers team, in a Breaking Bad finale.Your brain counts every second. The density of the masculinity & the protest within the massacre are so intense and merge in a self-destructive outburst in one of the saddest but expected endings.Chris Pine completes the damned symphony in almost monologue but still a dialogue "There-was-no- other-way" verbal clash with the old cop character played by Jeff Bridges.
Epic,sweaty and dusty music from Nick Cave & Warren Ellis complements the cathartic message of this great little movie. A very personal movie. A movie that will stay and to which you will return and reflect in the echoes of your continuous self interpretation.
