Butt, butt, butt------Robin Hood. Evil banks. You mean it wasn't faye dunaway and warren beatty? Judging by the folks that showed up for their funerals, it doesn't sound like #Bluelivesmatter was in play. Were they the impetus for NFA 34?

This film was very well done.
Kostner and Harrelson do a great job.

I liked the film. It portrayed the Texas Rangers in a good light and downplayed the B&C roles so that they were only viewed as ruthless monsters and dead criminals.
It also showed some of the mental anguish that accompanied both of the lawmen as they struggled with being summary judges in assuring that they didn’t live one day longer than absolutely necessary, and the weight of actually killing a woman mobster for the first time in history.

J. Edgar Hoover described Frank Hamer as the greatest lawman of them all.
When he was young, he and Coke Stevenson (spelling?) caught a ring of cattle rustlers. Many years later he caught Lyndon Johnson stealing his first senate election from Coke. Harry Truman sent Abe Fortas to seal the deal and LBJ got away with it.
Hamer was in over a hundred gun fights in his life.

I wish I could walk into a gun store and pick up a Thompson and a Colt Monitor.

Watched it last weekend. Very well done. The last thing Kostner and Harrelson’s characters want to do is hunt down a couple of killers, but somebody had to do it.

John Boessenecker, author, Texas Ranger, The Epic Life of Frank Hamer, The Man Who Killed Bonnie and Clyde, at Amazon. The Highwaymen was not an accurate portrayal of events. I recommend the book for the back story on Hamer’s life and a recounting of the Barrow and Parker affair.

Hollyweird and the MSM always make hero’s out of murderous gangsters. I’d like to get the DVD of that movie.

how could you possibly do better than Kevin Costner playing a legendary lawman who was a combination of Wyatt Earp and Elliot Ness Kevin Costner has never played anything but one weary version of Kevin Coster or another.
Dumber duller doltish dope.

Costner's "Yellowstone" season 2 debuts June 19 on Paramount network. Costner is sort of cast against type. While he is placed to be the 'hero,' he does so many awful things the viewer is stretched between admiration and condemnation. Highly recommend watching it. And if you're a Gretchen Mol fan, like me, it's a don't miss.

We saw this just the other night. It is a great movie. Highly recommended!
I found it very helpful beforehand to look up the history on Frank Hamer, Ma Ferguson, and others who were the characters represented. The movie followed the actual events and characters extremely well, whether heroes or scoundrels. It is a work worthy of seeing more than once.

Great movie. You only see B & C from a distance most of the movie. It was all about the Rangers tracking the murderers down.
See it.

Just finished watching this movie last night, and I liked it; for the story, for the acting/actors, for the scenery, for the autos, for the clothes, etc.
I don’t reckon the places and scenes in the 1934 movie depiction, are much different than my youth in Utah, Wyoming and Colorado 1948-1955.
