Watch it the other night. Enjoyed it. The other side of Bonnie and Clyde. Thought it was well done. They did a good job of capturing the period. Probably not going to win a lot of awards but very enjoyable.

Anyone else seen it?

I liked it.

Made Bonnie and Clyde out to be the evil pieces of **** they actually we're.

I thought it was pretty good. One thing for sure they made damn sure they were dead. I read where Bonnie was shot 53 times and Clyde 51 times.

Quite a contrast to the old Bonnie and Clyde classic from Warner Brothers in 1967.

It was a crime how they portrayed Frank Hamer in that movie. His family was humiliated and sued for defamation of character, which is exactly what it was. They got a rare victory in the courts in the early 1970s.

Interestingly, this film now on Netflix was once a project targeted by Paul Newman and Robert Redford in the late 90s-early 2000s. Of course, Newman's death in the mid 2000s put an end to that.

Too much info I know, but I was always fascinated by this bit of history, and thought it was really cool that a couple of former Texas Rangers took their Old West ways to the highways to catch these killers.

Watched last night with my wife. We both liked it.

The scene with Costner in the gas station talking to Mr Barrow was good.

Wife and I watched it as well, we both enjoyed it a lot. Netflix needs more of these high quality movies/shows and less cheap shows.

Netflex seems to be taking the shotgun approach to their original programing. Throw a lot of money at a lot of projects and some of them are bound to be good.
