Unfortunately, the brothers have relentless Texas Ranger Marcus Hamilton (<strong>Jeff Bridges<\/strong>) on their scent, accompanied by his equally tough partner Alberto Parker (<strong>Gil Birmingham<\/strong>). Although Marcus is only weeks away from retirement, that won\u2019t stop him from confronting the brothers in true cowboy fashion: in a climactic showdown, guns blazing.<\/p>\n<p>The screenplay for\u00a0<em>Hell or High Water<\/em> comes straight from the brainchild of the <em>Yellowstone<\/em> Cinematic Universe, <strong>Taylor Sheridan<\/strong>, who unsurprisingly makes this riveting crime story a true neo-Western for the modern era. The slow-burn unfolding of the narrative is played out to perfection in the detailed script and the richly textured characters, who are embodied naturalistically by Bridges, Pine, Foster and Birmingham. Though\u00a0<em>Hell or High Water<\/em> did receive an Oscar nomination for Best Picture, it\u2019s far too slept on. If you love movies like\u00a0<em>No Country for Old Men<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Bone Tomahawk,\u00a0<\/em>be sure to check this one out.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ex Machina | Official Trailer HD | A24\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bggUmgeMCdc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Caleb Smith (<strong>Domhnall Gleeson<\/strong>) is a computer search engine programmer who wins a contest to spend a week at the lavish estate of his company\u2019s CEO, tech entrepreneur Nathan Bateman (<strong>Oscar Isaac<\/strong>). Little does Caleb know, he hasn\u2019t actually won any vacation. Instead, he was intentionally chosen to act as a guinea pig for Nathan\u2019s latest technology: a highly intelligent humanoid robot named Ava (<strong>Alicia Vikander<\/strong>). Through his administering of the Turing test on Ava, Caleb discovers the true extent of her consciousness \u2014 and she is far more self-aware than either Caleb or Nathan realizes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alex Garland <\/strong>(likely most known for screenwriting <em>28 Days Later<\/em>) makes his feature directorial debut with the stylish and cinematic indie film <em>Ex Machina, <\/em>a philosophically minded sci-fi that questions the nature of \u00a0human empathy and \u201cGod complexes.\u201d The movie trades CGI-heavy special effects for simplistic yet effective designs, with sleek visuals, a sharp script and tremendous performances from Gleeson, Isaac and Vikander. If you haven\u2019t yet given <em>Ex Machina<\/em> a shot, it doesn\u2019t take long into the runtime to understand why many feel it\u2019s one of the top science fiction films of the 21st century.<\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-narrow.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-narrow\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><br \/>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-wide\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A.
