Highwaymen

This is a really great Netflix original movie!

It made me think, kept me interested, and taught
me a whole new perspective on Bonnie and Clyde
and the way society works sometimes!

1. Just finished watching it

and it was a very well done movie. I really enjoyed the viewpoint presented in which Bonnie & Clyde were just background and the objective but never personalized as characters. It was a very different method used in this film of telling the story.

4. And

Yes, we get the story of Bonnie and Clyde as a kind of tragedy
for all the people surrounding them, including the country as a
whole. It was also a kind of morality tale and psychological object
lesson on what happens to people under too much financial stress,
both individually in the cases of B and C and collectively in the
moblike hero worship of cold blooded killers going after the evil
banks. Very interesting.

2. Kevin C was an even more laid back Burt Lancaster.

3. Yep, I liked it too...

I especially like the closing credits, they showed pictures of the real characters.

5. That was nice

I agree with you on that point.

6. Wonderful

Didn't want it to end. Actually I think I will watch again as I am sure I missed details....especially in conversations between Harrelson and Costner. They were amazing together. (Small detail....Harrelson just couldn't get Costner to eat healthy...but was "allowed" to drive the Ford in the end I wouldn't be surprised if they won awards. In fact, the whole cast did a superb job. Netflix has hit it out of the park lately.

7. Agree! That was my question too.

Can this show be nominated for Golden Globes and Oscars?

It's that good, imo.

9. Switching drivers at the end was perfect!

8. I talked to Netflix and ..

.. the guy said that this movie is eligible for awards!

Must say I'm glad to hear that. This is one of the best
I've seen this year.
