Expectations: To see a period piece centered around the take down of Bonnie and Clyde and all the events that led up to it.What happened: Exactly that. This movie isn’t for everyone, but if you are hoping to see a good period piece with realistic action and events. You’ll love this film.
***Tracking down Bonnie & Clyde***Based on the real story, two renowned retired Texas Rangers (Kevin Costner & Woody Harrelson) are commissioned to track down and execute Bonnie & Clyde in 1934 after other authorities have failed.
“The Highwaymen” (1983) is a great counterbalance to the 1967 movie with Beatty & Dunaway, which painted the thugs more sympathetically, as well as the excellent “Bonnie & Clyde: The True Story” (1992).
The filmmakers shoot for realism rather than the thrills of, say, James Bond or Batman. And by “realism” I don’t mean exact historical accuracy; movies never are for many reasons. For instance, Frank Hamer never approached Bonnie & Clyde from the front of their vehicle. Hamer & co. just blew them to smithereens as soon as it was determined it was the rogue couple.
The picture is a reverent period piece about life in the Great Depression and the pursuit & execution of the infamous duo by a couple of aged, but experienced men. The film has the confidence to take its time, unlike say “Aquaman,” which anxiously jumped to a wild action scene just when a dramatic part was getting interesting. If “The Highwaymen” is sometimes slow & boring it’s because the actual pursuit was also slow and often boring. This is not a flick for people with ADHD who demand an explosion every 5-7 minutes. It’s for people who favor period pieces like “The Whole Wide World,” “Cross Creek,” “Of Mice and Men,” “The Cider House Rules,” “The Green Mile” and “Water for Elephants.”
The movie runs 2 hours, 12 minutes.
GRADE: B+/A-
Well done!
Movie that takes place in the 30s it was truly well done and very well thought out. This movie created the mystery of bonnie and clyde and the drama and havoc the created throughout the south. The true story of these 2 retired rangers made this all the more appealing. Kevin costner was a magnificent choice for haymer! Harrelson was perfect as his partner. I really enjoyed the big names in this movie down to Kathy bates. Very happy with the detail this film portrayed.
Sympathy for the devils (?)
I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen Bonnie and Clyde from the 60s, but that aside the morality of it or rather the depiction of the title characters there is supposed to be rather sympathetic. Again don’t nail me on what the movie does with it, have to really watch it, especially after seeing this. Because no matter what the other movie did, this is portraying the whole thing from another perspective – the law enforcement that went after them.And this does not care about mysticism or romanticizing what happened. While we stay mostly away from Bonnie and Clyde, what we see of them or rather the mayhem they leave behind is not anything any sane person would declare as good.
A strange yet very enganging movie, with a great lead performance by Kevin Costner.
