Chappy Watched 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.

laurapara90 This movie is very different from the original and not necessarily in a good way. I believe it portrays bonnie to be more sinister and Clyde to have premonitions. I understand that maybe this was done to make it more exciting, so half way through the movie I felt like it wasn't too bad.* spoiler* However, when they showed frank tracking them through western union and from photos they had taken with the license plate of the car which led them to the location of their hotel room I became a bit puzzled. This is because quite some time after the photos that had been taken were sent to the news reporter they had stopped along the way where there was a "shindig" taking place and Clyde had stolen another vehicle. Maybe I missed something but it just didn't make any sense to me from that point on and I couldn't get passed it.

onethousandowls 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.

Frank Burnham The true story of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow is dramatic. 2013's "Bonnie and Clyde" is a miserable mess of dishonest storytelling made almost watchable by the performances of Emile Hirsch, Holliday Grainger and the supporting cast.In this telling of the outlaws' tale, Bonnie Parker is the prime motivator of their criminal behavior. The consequence of this conceit is to make the role of Clyde Barrow somewhat 'sensitive'. To achieve the Bonnie-is-the-bad-one theme the writers have presented patently false scenes.## SPOILER COMING ## The departures from fact in this production are too many to name here, but highlights are: Bonnie Parker did not kill Doyle Johnson on Christmas Day, 1932. But this production has her do it and the thrill-seeking manner in which she commits the murder becomes a central conflict between her and Clyde. Also, Bonnie did not participate in the shooting deaths of highway patrolmen Wheeler and Murphy on Easter Sunday, 1934. The 'eyewitness' to this event was soundly discredited. Even the scene where Bonnie and Clyde first see each other (Bonnie's wedding) is total fabrication, suggesting that the director and writers did not have the confidence to find drama in the true event ## SPOILERS ENDED ##Director Bruce Beresford and writers Joe Batteer and John Rice have opted to give a rendition of the Bonnie and Clyde story that is a supermarket tabloid version, not anything close to the true story. And frankly, the true story is a whole lot more interesting than the story being told here. Not only is the dishonesty a disservice to the audience, but it also means the actors have to create their characters from scratch, since what is in the script and on the screen does not resemble the true personalities and motivations of Bonnie and Clyde.Brucie Beresford should look back to his "Breaker Morant" roots to remind himself how a true story should be told.A definite "pass on it". Aside from just bad storytelling, it is too long and slow. Regrettably I didn't hit the fast-forward button.
