the really cool thing about this is it is completely about the pursuing cops and presented from their point of view. Bonnie and Clyde's faces aren't shown until right before they are killed. Prior to that, they are either shown from a distance or from behind. It really conveyed the cops' mounting frustration as they were so often just a step behind them.

Definitely one of the better movies of its kind. Kostner and Harrelson make a great team. Kostner's portrayal of Frank Hamer is basically an old fart version of Eliot Ness.

I would have happily paid to see this in the theater.

This was really good. I don’t know the liberties they took but nothing seemed outlandish. The camerawork was really really good. Nothing groundbreaking but it was notably well done. Same with the music.

What really drives the movie forward was the acting. There were a LOT of places the acting could have fallen flat and the points the movie was pushing would miss. Harelson and Kostner have laid some eggs in their career but this is really well down and it all worked. For me anyway.
