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

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.

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

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.

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.

I saw it and was impressed that it kinda conveyed something conservative though I couldn’t put my finger on it. It seemed like a Kevin was the picture of a Republican — solid, stately, quiet — and Woody a Democrat — wacky, emotional, over stated. (And I’m not saying Kevin was Bugs and Woody was Daffy, but it did cross my mind.) But they worked together for a common purpose, which is the betterment of the country, that you would think both Republican and Democrat had done so, at least in the past. Yep, it was a good movie and Kevin letting Woody drive the car in the end is almost symbolic of a decent humanity toward each other — or if I could return to my political analogy — letting the Democrat run the government in a democracy of the people.

The more I think about it the movie seemed to be well thought out — for example, we never see the Bonnie’s face except at the end. That wasn’t an accident, but a good directional choice. There was a lot to make it appealing and giving it some depth.

Spot on. Best feature length film I’ve seen in ages. And as close to historic accuracy as anything that isn’t a dry documentary. Even the apparent size and youth of the two killers (Clyde was 5’ 7” and Bonnie was tiny next to him) were accurately portrayed. And Lord, would I ever love to be able to drive a 1933 Ford V8!

Got it in my “to watch list”. I watched “The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot” with Sam Elliott, last weekend on DVD from Netflix. One of the trailers they offered on the disk was “Bone Tomahawk” with Kurt Russell. Hadn’t heard of it before. It’s from 2015, but the trailer was enough to peak my interest. It’s supposed to be pretty gruesome, so I’m just wondering if I watch it while I eat my brunch, or afterwards.

Finally, the high quality of The Highwaymen, in acting and directing talent and production values, is additional proof that cinematic creativity has moved on to new venues. Generators with a ready audience – Amazon, Netflix and the like – are creating original, interesting content. Far more interesting content than what’s nominated for the Academy Awards this year; discuss as you wish.

I actually prefer the original content coming out on streaming sites like Netflix and Amazon Prime. I think the content is better because the producers of it don't necessarily have to worry about box office or TV ratings. This frees them up to focus on the content rather than dumb it down for the masses in order to maximize audience.

I definitely made the right choice cutting my cable and relying only on my Roku to deliver content.
