This is by far the worst movie I have seen The acting was awful, the effects were awful and the action was guess what. Awful! No seriously this movie could have been made by a bunch of five year old kids who have a fond taste for American history. The effects are embarrassing for example at one point in it shot are being fired at Clydes car and they are flashing his leather roof. Furthermore, the film was half full of really dull picture montages in black and white. And finally the props were awful in one point Clyde points a gun at someone but the only problem it the barrel isn't hollow.Do not watch this film unless you want to be bored out of your mind for 85 minutes

I had to laugh when I watched this, and in fact I did. The part at approx. 75:45 made me laugh the most. It looked like one of the show's producers Photoshopped the building (penitentary or castle?) into the scene. I also love the fake-looking flashes they too edited in.Also, I believe Clyde always drove Ford's. Don't quote me on that, but I think that is how it was. The Roadster they were in in the beginning I don't believe was a Ford. Also, I believe the real B&C stole many cars, in the movie they only had two cars.I also have to make note how half the movie is black and white movies. All the scenes were in the same dessert, including the "Indiana" scene. I just wonder where that $1,000,000 they had went.All in all: the A&E version was 10 times better. I've never seen the 1967 version so I can't compare it with that one, but I'm sure the 1967 one was the best out of all of them.Would I recommend this movie? Hill no! If you can, watch the 1967 version, or at least the A&E version, which I will also review.

Not since Pippi Longstockings have a sat through a more dreadful movie. HORRID. Sad because the two lead actors have potential to do some very good work. I've seen high school plays in rural North Dakota that had more of a budget than this movie. The same quarter mile stretch of road used over and over again from different angles. Prop guns were horrible, you could see the plugs in the barrels half the time, the other half of the time they were so clearly stage props they looked like they were stolen from a college theater department. The "special effects" of gunfire and bullets supposedly striking objects were so sad. I love the scene with the prison super imposed on a mountain range....laughable if it weren't so sad. Monster power line towers also visible in a number of scenes...in one, it is almost like the camera man realized it and just panned the camera slightly to get it out of frame. Last but certainly not least, the opening scene suggests that the story was taking place in Louisiana and it was clearly a totally different climate and geography...looked like California. Repetitive use of "antiqued" photos of the actors and different buildings that were so obviously "movie set" buildings....stop me or I'll go on forever.Don't waste your time...but if there is an agent out there, a producer with some juice and a director worth his or her salt...snatch up these two lead actors and give them a little mentoring.

A truly dreadful remake. The action is non-existent which in such a dramatic and action packed story is beyond belief. In close up sepia stills (which take up a significant part of the film) you can clearly see that the guns are fake, and poor ones at that with no hole in the muzzle. Got bored well before the end and switched off before it got any worse!Apparently I need to write more lines of text, so I will use those lines to pay homage to the Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway 1967 film of the same title, which even though it was filmed forty six years earlier than this 2013 effort, is far superior in every single way.
