Divja vožnja po kriminalnem svetu ameriškega juga - klasični žanrski spopad med teksaškim rangerjem in bančnima roparjema, nadgrajen z izvrstno glasbeno podlago Nicka Cava in Warrena Ellisa. 

Brata Toby in Tanner iz Teksasa po letih ločenega življenja spet združita moči, saj njuni družini grozi, da bo ostala brez posestva. V svojem maščevanju se lotita ropanja bančnih podružnic, s čimer bi družini vrnila ukradeno prihodnost. Njuni podvigi potekajo povsem po načrtu, vse dokler njuna dejanja ne pritegnejo pozornosti teksaškega rangerja Marcusa, ki išče svoj zadnji izziv pred upokojitvijo. Ko brata že skorajda v celoti uresničita svoj načrt, se z rangerji za petami lotita še zadnjega obračuna, v katerem trčijo vrednote starega in novega Zahoda. 

Kot filmskega ustvarjalca me vedno privlačijo zgodbe, ki niso črno-bele glede svojih moralnih odtenkov … tako me je kot ena od prvin pri tem filmu zanimala tako imenovana 'povračilna kriminalnost', ko dobri ljudje počnejo slabe stvari iz dobrih razlogov. Mislim, da ima to ravnovesje neko zelo zanimivo razsežnost, zelo privlačno zame kot režiserja, še zlasti pri tem filmu.

[ENG]

A wild ride across the criminal world of the American South - heading for the showdown between a Texas Ranger and a bank robber in the classical vein of the genre, and featuring astonishing soundtrack by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis. 

Texan brothers Toby and Tanner come together after several years apart to rob branches of the bank threatening to foreclose on their family land. The hold-ups are just part of a last-ditch scheme to take back a future that seemed to have been stolen from under them. Vengeance seems to be theirs, until they find themselves on the radar of a Texas Ranger, Marcus, looking for one last grand pursuit on the eve of his retirement. As the brothers plot a final bank heist, and with the Rangers on their heels, a showdown looms at the crossroads where the values of the Old and New West collide.

As a filmmaker I'm always drawn to stories which are not black and white in terms of their moral shades … so one of the elements of this film I was interested in was this thing that I call 'redemptive criminality' where good people do bad things for good reasons. I think there's something really interesting about that balance, and that is definitely an area of attraction for me as a filmmaker, and in particular in this film.
