It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I've known some details about the history of Bonnie & Clyde but I have never watched any docos or movies on the pair.The story was really entertaining and has a pretty good cast. Bonnie was starting to annoy me towards the end, her need to be famous nearly getting them caught and getting people hurt.I found the end, where the car they were in is riddled with bullets and I mean RIDDLED, to be very over dramatic and almost like the scene in Predator where Arnie and his men are wasting half their ammo on an invisible enemy. It was a good watch but it won't be something I would probably watch again.

Slick and Good Looking TV-Movie that has some Style and Swagger with a Performance by Holiday Grainger as Bonnie with a Doll-Like Look. She Persuasively Captures Her Transformation from Glory Hound to Delusional Psychosis. Emile Hirsch as Clyde is Rather Bland and let's Bonnie Steal the Show.The Supporting Characters are OK with Holly Hunter and William Hurt doing Yeoman Work. The Romanticism is Relentless with Much Bedroom Bouncing and Pointed Pauses for Hugs and Kisses.The Movie Decides to Make the Depression-Era Gangsters Appear as Their Perfumed Newspaper Personalities. Going from Folk-Heroes to Cold Blooded Killers with the Public Taking the Cue from the Propagandized and Opportunist Newspaper Reports.This Accounts for the Inaccuracies in the Film because the Newspaper Accounts were Mostly Inaccurate Exploitations Feeding the Public what They Wanted to Read. Here the Mini-Series Makers are Feeding the Public what They Want to See. Overall, Mostly Above Average with a bit too Much Uninteresting Filler (premonitions and ballet dancing) that Drags this Down from Anything More Aspirational than Fluff.Note...The (1967) Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway Movie is a very popular and critically acclaimed Flashpoint Film of its Era.

I don't claim to be an expert on Bonnie & Clyde, nor even to have as avid an interest as some of the other reviews I've read pertaining to this title, but I still appreciate some degree of honesty whenever the story focuses on real characters. And I am going to go ahead and assume that this movie has more plot holes than it has bullet holes.Clyde is portrayed as more of a foil for Bonnie, who seems to boss him around and have no interest in him or anything but the thrill of notoriety. I don't know how much of this is true, but it did seem to me that Bonnie & Clyde were supposed to be lovers rather than a one-sided fling. Clyde has a weird third sight that basically serves as an ongoing spoiler and as a way to make the film more exciting (because God knows nothing else does). Bonnie just seems kind of obsessed and prone to panic attacks whenever the spotlight isn't on her.The movie basically consists of a bunch of boring dialogue, pointless historical inaccuracies, and newspapers summarizing what would be the real action of the robberies. In short, a documentary would be much more exciting and informative of Bonnie & Clyde's story.I watched this all in one 3-hour dosage on Netflix, and it wasn't so boring that it was unbearable, but it wasn't memorable or even a good way to kill my Saturday. The acting and filmography weren't all bad, but the plot and dialogue were dull and sometimes laughable.

I found out about this movie the night before it premiered on a YouTube advertisement. I then watched bits and pieces of the first part on A&E. But I missed the second night, or the second part. I watched the whole miniseries on A&E's website.Here's my thing on it: it was good, but it could've been plenty better. Although many would disagree, I think the acting was excellent. The actors and actresses (most of which I've never heard of before) did very well. I liked Lane (who played Buck) the best, but Emilie (who played Clyde) did an excellent job also.A major con would be that it was inaccurate. I know it was made for our entertainment, but I would have expected Bonnie to be less of the boss and Clyde more of the boss.Here's some pro's and cons I've listed. Pros: -Good acting -Good editing/special effects Cons: -InaccurateAll in all, I think it deserves a 6/10 star. I would have also loved to see some "behind the scenes" footage.
