Yellowstone creator's ‘raw and gripping' thriller that's ‘even better the second time' now streaming
Yellowstone fans in the UK have reason to celebrate as a hit thriller from the Western drama's showrunner Taylor Sheridan is now streaming.
Best known for penning the Paramount Network drama as well as the films Sicario and Wind River, the latter he also directed, this 2016 cult crime classic reaffirmed Sheridan as a major Hollywood talent.
Led by a stellar cast, including Chris Pine and Jeff Bridges, this riveting neo-Western follows two brothers on the run from the law in Texas after carrying out a series of bank robberies.
Gil Birmingham, who went on to collaborate with Sheridan on Yellowstone, joins Bridges as the two Texas Rangers in hot pursuit of the fugitive brothers, played by Pine and Ben Foster.
If you've yet to take a chance on Hell or High Water, or if you loved this nail-biting thriller upon its initial release and are due a rewatch, it's now available to stream on Prime Video.
Countless fans agree it's one of the best modern Westerns of the 21st Century and well worth a watch when you have a free evening to raise your pulse this week.
A five-star Google review said: 'A film that stays with you long after it's over. The acting is top notch by all four leads and Chris Pine shows he can really act and gives an inspired performance.
'He and Foster have great chemistry with Foster providing much of the tension and electricity and sense of foreboding as they move toward what was one of the most riveting, intense and wrenching third acts in any movie.
'Bridges as always owned the show and Birmingham proved he belongs in his company and held his own in every scene. Truly a great film.'
Someone else showered it with high praise: 'I love this movie! Just watched it the second time and it was even better.
'The film grabs you and doesn't let you go. Another great example of a film that does everything right. With the length of 102 min it's just perfect. No unnecessary scenes.'
Another reviewer agreed: 'Hell or High Water is a captivating neo-western crime thriller that masterfully blends elements of classic westerns with modern sensibilities.
'The film boasts compelling performances from its lead actors, Chris Pine and Ben Foster, who portray brothers driven to desperate measures to save their family's land.
'Their characters are complex and flawed, yet sympathetic, making their journey all the more engaging.'
'I was immediately drawn into its raw and gripping narrative,' yet another five-star write-up said.
'This isn't just another heist movie; it's a profound exploration of family bonds, justice, and resilience against a seemingly oppressive system.
'It resonated with me deeply, leaving a mark that made me ponder its themes long after the credits rolled.'

The Assassin filming locations as Keeley Hawes' Prime Video thriller drops
The Assassin is currently airing on Prime Video and stars Keeley Hawes and Freddie Highmore as a mother and son duo - but where was the action-packed drama filmed? The Assassin, a much-anticipated six-part action thriller, is on Prime Video and stars Keeley Hawes and Freddie Highmore as a mother-son duo. Julie, a retired hitwoman, has chosen to live her life in solitude on a picturesque and secluded Greek island. However, when her estranged son Edward arrives with questions about his father and upbringing, Julie's tranquil existence is disrupted. The two are compelled to collaborate as Julie's tumultuous past resurfaces and family secrets are unveiled. Hawes, who portrays Julie, recently made an uncommon family revelation as she discussed the new drama. Here's everything you need to know about the filming locations of the series. Where was The Assassin filmed? The series was filmed in Greece, with most of the action taking place in Athens, and director Lisa Mulcahy admitted they faced challenges. She stated: "Making a show in another country in extreme heat is very challenging for everyone involved, as at times we were shooting in nearly forty-degree heat. "Some days were brutal, but we made sure everyone drank loads of water, stayed out of the heat and kept out of direct sunlight." Star Highmore also confessed that the harsh conditions made filming quite difficult. He added: "Filming in Athens has been amazing. The variety of locations that we've filmed in has been crazy, we've covered land, sea, woods, yachts, mansions... the list goes on. "This is my first time in Athens, and it was amazing to film there, but the most challenging thing has been the heat. "Any sweat on screen that can be seen as we run around is most likely genuine! It's certainly one of the hottest climates I've ever filmed in." His co-star Hawes shared her enthusiasm about returning to Greece for work, stating: "I previously did The Durrells for four series and we filmed that in Corfu, but because there's no infrastructure there for filming, lots of the crew had come from Athens. "Coming to Athens to shoot The Assassin has meant I'm back with a lot of those people I met in Corfu. "There's nothing better than walking onto a set on your first day, feeling nervous and apprehensive, to then be greeted by so many familiar friendly faces that I had spent a lot of time with over those four lovely years." Greece also served as a stand-in for all the other countries visited in the series, including Spain, the south of France and Albania. The Assassin is available on Prime Video.

The Assassin cast in full as Line of Duty and Riverdale stars join thriller
The Assassin is a drama that follows Julie, a woman with a dark past who is forced to confront old demons when she is reunited with her son, Edward Prime Video's latest offering, 'The Assassin', is creating quite the buzz with its impressive ensemble cast. The drama delves into the complex dynamics between a mother and her son as they navigate their strained relationship amidst life-threatening challenges. As Julie's history starts to resurface, threatening to expose her former life's secrets, she and her son must band together in a desperate bid for survival. Julie star Keeley Hawes opened up about her own parenting experiences ahead of the show. The show's creators, Harry and Jack Williams, opened up about the core of Julie and Edward's (Freddie Highmore) fraught bond: "We wanted to get a sense early on that there was something unresolved in this relationship, something that needed fixing, and that's the story of this series." They added: "They both come into it and are awkward with each other, and there's a history and coldness, and they haven't quite connected." For those eager to know more about the cast, here's the lowdown. Julie - Keeley Hawes Taking on the role of Julie is Keeley Hawes, who viewers might recognise from her gripping performances in 'Line of Duty' as DI Lindsay Denton or as Home Secretary Julia Montague in the BBC hit 'Bodyguard'. Off-screen, Hawes tied the knot with her 'Spooks' co-star Matthew Macfadyen in 2004, and the couple share two children. She also has another son from her previous marriage to DJ Spencer McCallum in 2001. Edward - Freddie Highmore Stepping into the shoes of Edward is Freddie Highmore, celebrated for his roles in 'Bates Motel', 'The Good Doctor', and 'Finding Neverland'. In a personal revelation on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' in September 2021, Highmore disclosed that he had recently wed, though he kept the identity of his wife under wraps. He joyfully remarked: "I'm as happy as a Brit can be and I'm married to a very wonderful woman now, so yes I feel very happy." Discussing his experience working with Hawes on their new project, he shared: "Keeley is brilliant and was one of the main reasons that I wanted to be part of this project." He praised her talent, saying: "She is so talented and such a brilliant actor, whilst also being a lovely person with the best attitude." He added: "We both have a similar sense of humour too, and hopefully that will translate into the series. We've certainly bonded and I can't imagine anyone better to try and nail that tone down with than her." Marie - Gina Gershon Gina Gershon boasts an impressive resume with roles in major films like P.S. I Love You and House of Versace, as well as TV appearances in Riverdale and New Amsterdam. Her aspirations were always set on acting, although she initially started out in music and dance. The celebrity was romantically linked with Belgian entrepreneur and ex-footballer Robert Dekeyser from 2015 until 2018. Luka - Gerald Kyd Portrayed by Gerald Kyd, who has a rich heritage being half-Greek and half-Scottish, he's recognised for his role as Sean Maddox in Casualty. Kyd is also celebrated for his performances in Malory Towers, The Split, and The Defender. Reflecting on his heritage and career, he stated: "I have a Greek background, my grandparents were from Greece, and in twenty-five years as an actor, I've only been asked to play a Greek part twice. "So, it was very exciting to get this part, and to read the scripts, which are just incredible. They're fast-paced, exciting, thrilling, and funny as well. I was desperate to be part of it." Kayla - Shalom Brune-Franklin Kayla is portrayed by Shalom Brune-Franklin, a 30 year old British-Australian actress celebrated for her roles in Our Girl and The State. Audiences might also recognise her as Aoife from the Australian series Doctor Doctor, or her appearance in The Tourist. Ezra - Devon Terrell Ezra is brought to life by Devon Terrell, who viewers may remember as Arthur from the Netflix original series Cursed. Discussing his experience working with the ensemble cast on this new venture, he expressed: "Everything enticed me. The opportunity to work on such brilliant writing with such incredible actors, and to have a chance to work with Shalom. "We were friends before, but I think she's an amazing actress, and I knew the character arcs were so developed that we could really play. Working on material like this is an actor's dream."

The Assassin review — Keeley Hawes is a knockout as a ‘perimenopausal 007'
Can you ever truly pull off the comedy thriller? The comedy drama is everywhere these days, but that's easy. When you've run out of jokes you just go all serious for a bit (as a political sketch writer, believe me, I know that technique well). But in a full-on thriller, where plot and pace and mood are everything, how can a steady stream of gags not puncture the spell every single time? The movie Saltburn was theoretically a comedy thriller. I loved it, but it's not funny. If you can't decide if you're trying to be funny or darkly thrilling, you can end up with a man shagging another man's freshly covered grave or doing even worse to his bath plug. The Assassin, Prime Video's new six-part comedy thriller starring Keeley Hawes, is an education in how it should be done. It's an absolute cracker. The secret, we now know, is to serve the thrills and laughs one after another in very quick succession, not to try to blend them together. It's to take a quick break from, say, an all-action, no expense spared, absolutely full-on massacre and have a son ask his blood-spattered, gun-toting mother: 'Are you really not going to tell me why you're some kind of perimenopausal James Bond?' The simplicity of the premise only elevates it. Hawes's Julie, to the surprise of her son, a journalist, is a former 'hitwoman' drawn out of retirement for one last job. (It just doesn't sound right, does it, 'hitwoman', but I think that might be a joke too. The writers must be aware of the appropriate gender-neutral term for contract killer. It's right there in the title.) But there, you will not be shocked to learn, the simplicity stops as it gets lost in ever more interwoven webs of deceit. The scenes in a hellhole of a Libyan prison are every bit as dark and unsettling and stomach-churningly violent as anything you'll find in, say, Zero Dark Thirty. There are dismembered fingers all over the place and, eventually, a phone that has to be repeatedly unlocked with a very literal thumb drive. • The Top Ten Keeley Hawes performances — ranked And then, within seconds, you're watching a man built like the proverbial brick outhouse, powerless to take action against the almost octogenarian businessman who's slapping him repeatedly around the face, who also happens to be Jim Robinson from Neighbours (Alan Dale). By the end of episode four of six, which is all that's been made available for preview, all we know is that the world suddenly changes any time anyone dares to say out loud the word 'chantaine', which pertains to a shocking secret that must be suppressed whatever the blood-stained cost. With just a third of the action to go, we still have no idea what chantaine is, although I personally am leaning very gently towards incest. Another, less mysterious secret is that luxury saunas are still more dangerous than they look. It's strange how TV trends emerge, but barely a month after Mountainhead and centuries after the retirement of the iron maiden, the high-powered sauna has emerged as the torture instrument de jour for slightly stupid billionaires. In other recurring themes, Lisburn's own Richard Dormer, aka Gerry from Blue Lights and Norman Stoke in The Day of the Jackal, continues his late flourishing as a top-level criminal, and now appears to be hiding out in secret, dilapidated off-grid locations all over Europe. What's arguably most intriguing about The Assassin is that there is an easy way to get hold of a flawless comedy thriller, one with all the whip-smart, antic charm of, say, Killing Eve or Daniel Craig's last Bond movie, No Time to Die, and that is to pay a lot of money to Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Which is precisely what Prime Video did, several years ago, yet it has produced The Assassin without her involvement. If it feels Waller-Bridge-like, then it may be because it has been created by Two Brothers Productions, the two brothers being Harry and Jack Williams, who developed and produced Fleabag from Waller-Bridge's 2013 Edinburgh Fringe show. In The Assassin, they have yet another knockout triumph on their hands, and I can't wait for the final two episodes. • The best hidden gem TV shows and series to watch I have, on this page, occasionally mourned the near death of the straight-up, straightforward sitcom. Comedy dramas and comedy thrillers are fine, but only in a pure comedy can the laughs truly run the show. It's a long time since the humble sitcom ruled the TV schedules. That the three Gavin and Stacey Christmas specials were spread over 16 years, and without much else in between them, only proves the point. With comedy, it's always hardest to do it the supposedly easy way. What a treat, then, that the best new sitcom in years is back for a third series and as brilliant as ever. Here We Go, still being written by, and starring, the brilliant Tom Basden, and still starring the just as brilliant Alison Steadman, Katherine Parkinson and Jim Howick, is still regularly described as a 'sleeper hit'. Well all I can say is, 'Wake up, everybody! Wake up at once!' I truly envy anyone who has never seen Here We Go, never met its dysfunctional modern family and their boring life in suburbia, who can still take it all in from the beginning for the very first time in all of its chaotic, brilliant glory. It's possible that it takes a while to get into, because there are quite a lot of characters, and it takes a while to appreciate that every one of them is perfect, that they are each holding up their own corner of a ingeniously constructed comedy crucible into which anything can be placed and will always come out hilarious. Oh, the delight of knowing that absolutely everything you see, be it a smart door lock, a Lego Eiffel Tower or a Big Green Egg, or indeed two Big Green Eggs, are all Chekhov's guns, that all of them will go off, and all in more spectacularly disastrous ways than you've dared to imagine. • Read more TV reviews, guides about what to watch and interviews Here We Go is a rarity in that its format, if it can be described in such a way, actually improves with age. Constant escalation is required. At the end of the last series, the Chekhov's gun actually was a gun, being waved about at a wedding, and rather too close to the cake. At the start of this series, among the first seeds to be planted — the first glimpse of chaos — is a can of pepper spray in the handbag of Gran Sue (Steadman). Oh, and none of them can get to a long-planned family outing to an escape room because they have all been locked in their house. If all this sounds like it's at risk of jumping the shark, then absolutely not, that's the whole point. The shark was jumped before the first episode. Here We Go exists beyond the shark.
