The Highwaymen
Robbing banks during the depression was easy because everyone was wearing a bankruptcy barrel.
Thankfully, the bandits in this drama made themselves easily identifiable by wearing normal clothing.
As Bonnie and Clyde continue their crime spree across the mid-west, the Texas Governor (Kathy Bates) reinstates retired Texas Ranger Frank Hamer (Kevin Costner) to capture the star-crossed killers. Armed with an arsenal and partnered with ex-Ranger Maney Gault (Woody Harrelson), Hamer heads to the couple's hometown in hopes their kinfolk will rat them out.
While there's no shortage of movies told from the twosome's point of view, this middling Netflix retelling is told from the law's perspective, which is more clinical in its assessment of the pair than most. The real highlight, however, is its frightening portrayal of the folk-heroes crazed fan base.
Nevertheless, proponents of gender equality will be glad to know Bonnie was shot as many times as Clyde. Yellow Light
