Woody Harrelson and Kevin Costner in The Highwaymen
The Big Picture It’s hard to overstate how significantly the 1967 crime movie classic Bonnie & Clyde changed the state of American filmmaking. With its striking visuals, inclusion of graphic sexual and violent content, emphasis on young protagonists, and surprisingly nihilistic themes, the film served as the gateway to the “New Hollywood” era of the 1970s.
The Highwaymen RDrama Release Date March 15, 2019 Director John Lee Hancock Cast Kevin Costner , Woody Harrelson , Kathy Bates , Kim Dickens , John Carroll Lynch , W. Earl Brown Runtime 132 What Is 'The Highwaymen' About? Set two years after Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow first initiated their reign of terror, The Highwaymen explores the convoluted efforts by the FBI and local authorities to bring the criminals to justice.
While approaching the Bonnie & Clyde story from the perspective of the authorities may seem like a dull approach, Costner and Harrelson are still playing underdogs in The Highwaymen. The FBI representatives doubt that these two older men are capable of handling a case that has befuddled their top agents, and frequently lampoon their old-fashioned sleuthing skills.
Although the two films are not derivative of each other, The Highwaymen includes elements of the true story that Bonnie & Clyde left out. One of the film’s most powerful scenes involves Hamer talking with Clyde’s father, Henry , who expresses trepidation about disclosing details about his son’s whereabouts.
