Sheltered in my Los Angeles bubble, I can't believe that this crime movie had an accurate measure of the true pulse of the country. Texan outlaws rob banks to fight what appears to be a rigged system; the Texas Ranger who tracks them realizes that much of the population feels the same exact way. Jeff Bridges, Chris Pine and Ben Foster lead a crime spree through a depressed, forgotten America.
