Better Late Than Never

Better Late than Never blog series…goes west: ‘Hell or High Water’ (2016)

So technically, “Hell or High Water” (2016) wasn’t on my original short list of films to watch for the “Better Late than Never…goes west” blog series. It’s also a bit of an outlier compared to the other films I’ve watched for the series. While I’ve watched some Westerns that were

Better Late than Never blog series…goes west!
