Loved it. Reminded me of movies back in the 70’s.

Clyde Barrow hit 20 times and Bonnie Parker 26 times.

It is an excellent movie. The gun store scene with Costner is incredible.

Harrelson nails his role. Just nails it.

It’s streaming on Netflix. I recommend it.

“Clyde Barrow hit 20 times and Bonnie Parker 26 times.”

20,000 people attended Bonnie’s funeral. 15,000 for Barrow. The scene near the end of the movie shows people snatching souvenirs from their bodies as their car is being towed into town.

Really, really good movie.

I loved it too. Reminded me of space cowboys, though series.

Best streaming movie that I have seen in probably a year.

Will watch it again to get details. Some gun nut needs to identify all the weapons used by scene. I think I saw my Dads Browning 12 ga. And the BAR he carried in France.

thoroughly enjoyed the movie. really interesting to see the way the public turned bonnie and clyde into celebrities. i especially like the face that they didn’t give any glamorous tribute to the two killers - minimal use of their faces and showing the absolute brutality of the murders they committed.

“I think I saw my Dads Browning 12 ga. And the BAR he carried in France.”

Yep. He asked for the BAR and a Colt Monitor which is quite similar. Watching the proprietor carry all of it to the car along with cases of ammunition was priceless.

Ah, the good old days when anyone with enough money could walk into a gun store and walk out with a BAR.

We watched it twice. I want to watch it at least one more time!

I watched it the other night. Very good movie. It really caught the austerity of the depression.

Sounds good!
I personally like Kevin Costner’s acting.

I agree. It was an exceptional movie and it treated those psychotic killers and their mindless, shrieking groupies as they needed to be portrayed!

It reminded me so much of the mindless snowflakes, showering their adoration on the very socialist murderers who will leave them dead or penniless.

There's a scene where Costner/Hamer is shooting what I would think is a BAR. But he called it something different when he was buying it.

I've seen the photos of the aftermath of the ambush in Bienville, including the weapons the Barrow gang had and those the lawmen used. And I swear they were BARs (among a lot of other tasty items).
