It is by far. It’s available to stream. Costner and Harrelson are amazing. And the gun store scene is a gem.

Re: The Highwaymen (2019)
Just now watched it. Sorry, but as expected, I thought it sucked. Way too drawn out and boring. Over an hour into it and still hardly a view of the subjects of the story: Bonnie & Clyde.
Costner, I thought, as usual, was dull and unconvincing in his role. Outside of ‘No Way Out’ I’m not aware of anything he did that was noteworthy. Never cared for him as an actor. No matter the role or time period he always comes across as an average ‘modern guy’ with little if any charisma or appeal.
Meanwhile, the original Bonnie & Clyde with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway had much more action and focus on the subjects right from the start. Not to mention the sexy appeal of Faye Dunaway as Bonnie, as opposed to whoever it is that plays Bonnie in this film. The Dunaway factor, IMO, was a good sized part of the likability of the original. I turned this one off after an hour-plus without once even seeing the actress who played Bonnie. And I was only gone from the screen for 2-3 minutes tops in all that time.
