Our take
Before Yellowstone established Taylor Sheridan as TV’s leading genre revisionist, his screenplay for this propulsive thriller outfitted the heist movie in neo-western garb. Nick Cave and Warren Ellis lay down the score, while Jeff Bridges delivers a performance that ranks among his late-career best.
