Hell or High Water ***1/2 out of 4 Movie

Jeff Bridges is cop
Two guys rob banks to get enough money to save their ranch in Texas, a ranch that has oil. One of the brothers is a criminal at heart, the other is just after the money to pay off the loan on the ranch. Both embittered by banks/bankers/the man.

Bridges is on their trail.

Really good movie--solid, believable relationship between the two brothers. Bridges is very good, all the actors are.

Netflix Lincoln Lawyer

 Just a long yawner.  Acting was fine; there just wasn't nearly enough plot to carry 10 episodes.  Tech guy accused of killing wife.  LL takes on the case after the tech lawyer's first lawyer is murdered.  Mickey Haller gets the guy off . . . trick is the guy is guilty.  He used a drone to dispose of bloody clothes.  Subplot Maggy McFierce trying to get a conviction of a human trafficker.  She loses but then wins.  The divorced couple almost gets back together, but they are on opposite sides of the adversarial process and work comes first.  Won't be in a hurry to watch Season 2

Brotherhood

 Showtime -- Providence, two brothers, one aspiring politician the other a crook.  Totally different, but not so much.  Cop (close friend as child) is investigating crooked brother.  Pretty good series.
