We are in the 1930s and disillusion the "sacred" image of Bonnie and Clyde. This is not about the glitz and glamor of the most famous couple of all time. It's about two actually washed-up warhorses who are brought back to their jobs out of desperation. Kevin Costner delivers in his usual manner, playing the thoughtful loner with a rough exterior, always well aware of what awaits him. Add to that the somewhat tired, drunken Woody Harrelson, who always seems a little more approachable.
It's a fairly quiet story, starting slowly so that you have time to get to know the two main characters better and join them on the somewhat longer hunt for the infamous couple.
Here and there the whole thing is underlaid with subliminal light humor, so that the quiet moments are also bridged. The movie lives from the two main actors, so it's never boring, but you go on the search.
I really liked the last 8 minutes at the end, the original pictures from back then, of Bonnie and Clyde, the car. There were 20,000 people at Bonnie Parker's funeral in Dallas. There were 15,000 at Clyde Barrow's funeral, and the rest of the people involved are also shown with original footage and information about what happened to them.
For us, this is a very interesting movie that tells this story from a completely different perspective.
------------- Conclusion: Worth seeing.
