I hope I have not inserted any spoilers but this movie deserves some love and this is the reason why I decided to make this review, but just to be sure I will mark it as containing spoilers, just for safety.I ended up watching this as part of a project I had with crime in that period and I have to agree with some reviews that it has its flaws such as: - events that are changed from the historical order they happened or embellished more than it was necessary (read about them to figure it out; I don't want to give spoilers) - the way the actors interact - the aim of the gang (throughout the movie the script offers a false one).This are the cons but I believe the pros are those that should be taken into consideration: - there is a limited number of movies speaking about Bonnie & Clyde, the last movie being way too back in my opinion (1960s if I am correct and then something in the 1980s) - the costumes and the setting are according to the era and present a useful insight into how that period looked - the events although changed sometimes in the movie time line are historically valid in their entirety - The movie offers a "human side" to the myth - as always, some characters throughout history have been "glorified", and the movie makes them more human - even if it sounds bad, you realize that anybody could become like them in those times. - romance, as in real life existed, and the fact that is kept on a normal level (you would expect lots of romance, which borders with cliché in movies like this, but fortunately you'll see with your own eyes that it isn't so) adds realism to it. - the script is made in such a way that in the end you truly believe that their fate was modeled by their actions

I'll not waste your time as I've wasted enough time watching this joke of a movie. This film has the title of Bonnie and Clyde and what you get instead is a film with the most annoying soundtrack known to mankind. I would normally skip such details, but when the music doesn't ever stop, the least I can do is vent about it.Anyway, on to the film or what there was of it. If you're looking to see anything having to do with Bonnie and Clyde you've picked the wrong movie. Sure this film might read you a few sappy lines from a couple of hundred letters, but don't expect to see Bonnie or Clyde do anything. The joke that was bullets flying was not only an insult to Bonnie and Clyde, but an insult to human intelligence. I would have loved to have seen the story printed in the newspaper clippings, which the film makers was nice enough to show (instead of the real story). But that's because most of the movie portrayed Bonnie and Clyde as fashion models types. In fact, according to this movie, only thing Bonnie and Clyde actually did wrong was kiss, because that's about the only action we're allowed to see them doing.Lastly, there is a reason why they call people that star in films, actors. Because some times, they at least try to be the character, but not in this music video, no nothing like that here. Instead we get a rapid rehearsal of lines without the actors ever attempting to be in character or say the lines like there was even a point to saying them. However, in their defense,the lines were not worth saying. This film managed to skip any good parts and this is what was left over.

Holliday Grainger and Emile Hirsch are appealing and exciting as Bonnie and Clyde. Both actors give strong performances. This period piece is done well as far as the weapons, cars, costumes and set design. Even the golden look in certain scenes gives a gritty 1930's feel to the film. William Hurt is wonderful as Frank Hamer, the relentless Texas Ranger in hot pursuit of Bonnie and Clyde. Holly Hunter, as Bonnie's mom also turns in a solid performance. I really wanted to like this film and it is very entertaining. But the story is far from being accurate. There was plenty of creative license taken in this Bonnie and Clyde version. For one thing, portraying Bonnie as the instigator in several bank robberies and whose ego was primarily fueled by being famous and seeing her name in lights is not true. Bonnie's letters to Clyde (in prison) show quite the opposite. She wanted Clyde to "not be a thug" and urged him to go straight. Many of her letters are quoted in published and film biographies of Bonnie and Clyde. As for the witness who initially reported Bonnie shot one of the Grapevine police officers and heard her say, "his head bounced like a rubber ball", was later discredited. That scene in the movie never took place. However, newspapers of the day ran with the first story and helped turn the public sentiment against Bonnie and Clyde. There are documentaries available that give a more accurate historical account of these two notorious outlaws. This version of "Bonnie and Clyde" is compelling. But for historical accuracy, this Roman a Clef is way off the mark. If you want the true story, check out "Bonnie & Clyde: The Real Story" from the History Channel or read John Neal Phillips book "Blanche Barrow, my life with Bonnie and Clyde." Not only was Blanche married to Clyde's brother Buck, she ran around with the Barrow gang and left journals (1933 - 1935) during her prison stint after being shot and captured.

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.
