Netflix: The Highwaymen (Mar 29, 2019)

The untold story of the detectives who brought down Bonnie and Clyde comes to life in this crime drama starring Woody Harrelson and Kevin Costner.

Starring:Kevin Costner, Woody Harrelson, Kathy Bates
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WacoBill says: Thankfully, this doesn't seem to be yet another movie glorifying the outlaw couple. Costner and Harrelson portray the (retired) Texas Rangers who stopped them (with extreme prejudice).

I saw a trailer for "The Highwaymen." It looks pretty interesting!

I am sure that I will watch it, though I can't remember the last Kevin Costner movie that I thought was good.

It looks good but I just had the feel that I was watching a trailer for a miniseries not a two hour movie. Given the nature of the chase I might have preferred a miniseries treatment, but then the last Bonnie and Clyde that I can remember parts of was a miniseries and the Faye Dunaway Warren Beatty movie is in a class all by itself

That would be 2003's OPEN RANGE, which is a great movie.

So it's not about Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson?

I have enjoyed quite a few of Costner’s later films—and not enjoyed others
Very up/down performances because of the script as much as anything
He really can’t do well with a bad script because so much of his style of acting falls back on predictable and familiar reactions...
You can see/hear the same expressions/reactions spread across his films
In some they work fine
In others not so good...

I wonder if this is based on the novel by the guy who wrote the series about Bobl Lee Swagger, the sniper, and also about his father Earl a WW2 MoH winner and Arkansas law man...in one of the novels about his father—Earl helps bring down Bonnie and Clyde but takes no credit for his efforts...

The show is based on a screenplay by John Fusco (Crossroads, Young Guns, Young Guns II, Thunderheart, Hidalgo, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron).

Bob Lee is a character by Stephen Hunter (10 novels so far).
