Definitely see Hell Or High Water. If you're a guy... or a Southwestern woman, maybe. It's Taylor Sheridan's best... and this guy's good.

Wind River is very good, too, if you can stomach gunfights. This one is, as mentioned, cathartic. But they're not for everybody.

(Decades ago I was a Clint Eastwood fan. Knowing the man's politics now, I can do without his stuff.)
