The Highwaymen (film) - Wikipedia

My wife went on a video binge of late, incl getting Netflix recently...I've never been a terribly big fan of it, myself, however, while looking through it because she was hocking me to do so, a few days ago, I stumbled across this flick, this is the Wikipedia page...my curiosity was piqued, mainly to compare it with the 70s version with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway...in this one specific, narrow case, I was totally blown away by the sheer pretty close to spot on accuracy of this version, at least by contrast with the earlier one...there might've been perhaps a few aspects of cinematic license taken, though, from what I could gauge, quite few, in point of fact...I like a good deal of what Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson do, though not necessarily everything, all the time...however, in this specific instance, at least from what I could judge, they both pretty well nailed it, along with the whole production, in terms of overall historical atmosphere, costuming, and, most esp, the characterizations of both Bonny and Clyde, which were done in a remarkably chilling, understated way, esp the ending, which, in my estimation, was, aside from perhaps a few minor historical incongruities that, to my way of thinking, were genuinely irrelevant, that I just personally found eminently satisfying, not to mention totally mindblowing from a certain cinematic and historical perspective...I'd read on a few sites, incl, I think, also Wikipedia, that, in the version with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway, apparently, a good deal of the depiction of Frank Hamer, the former Texas Ranger who'd been asked to lead the effort, had been totally bollixed up, resulting, from what I'd read, in a lawsuit by his family at the clownish fashion in which he'd been depicted in the 70s version, though I'd also read his daughter apparently remained a close friend of Warren Beatty thereafter, incongruous as that apparently sounds...however, in this case, the historical aspect was done totally deadpan, with stark believability that both needs, and deserves, to be watched multiple times, in order to be fully appreciated...trust me, for those of you with Netflix, trust me, and watch this one, I assure all of you, you all most definitely won't be disappointed, promise...for those of you who've seen it, or do after reading this, I'd be most eager to know your thoughts, whenever convenient, no rush, enjoy....
