The Highwaymen Reviews
A lot of why this works is because of [Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson's] chemistry together.

Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson on a mission to hunt down Bonnie and Clyde? It's a hard idea to hate, and this Netflix movie is easy enough to enjoy.

It's hardly an insult to acknowledge that The Highwaymen is no classic on the level of Bonnie and Clyde. But it is, in its way, the perfect corrective to Penn's film.

It's a little disconcerting watching a film that begs you to root for killer American cops in the era of Black Lives Matter.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 30, 2019
The narrative, occasionally, perhaps in a bid for authenticity, moves fitfully. But the ending is tense and Costner and co-star Woody Harrelson (as his former partner) enjoy a robust onscreen chemistry.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 29, 2019
"The Highwaymen" is built to play off the chemistry of Costner and Harrelson, but the pair lacks flair, and settle too easily into cranky buddy cop clichés.
| Original Score: C+ | Mar 29, 2019
Costner and Harrelson get to talking, the light lands on their features just so, and the film casts its own curmudgeonly spell.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 29, 2019
As an excuse to spend some time with Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson doing what Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson do, it'll do just fine.

Everything about it, however, smacks of an old-fashioned 온라인카지노추천 movie, and a pretty mediocre one at that.
| Mar 28, 2019
The Highwaymen should have taken note: sometimes a story simply has no heroes.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 28, 2019
Leisurely and light on excitement, The Highwaymen is enjoyable, getting by on the chemistry of its two stars and strong filmmaking. But strangely, it feels more old-school than its 50-year-old predecessor.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 28, 2019
Morally dubious and ultimately suspense-less
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 27, 2019
Director John Lee Hancock doesn't lag far behind Arthur Penn for rat-a-tat horror. But the spectacle that stays with us here is slower, more sere.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 27, 2019
Where Bonnie and Clyde is gloriously tragic, The Highwaymen is blunt and anti-climactically savage, fulfilling as well as somewhat critiquing former Texas Ranger Frank Hamer's bloodlust.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 27, 2019
The Highwaymen is a crucial reminder that good Dad Movies aren't as easy to make as they look.
| Original Score: C | Mar 26, 2019
A compelling period piece that flips the script on two near-mythical outlaws.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 26, 2019
An ultra-conservative and criminally dull exercise in selective revisionist history.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 26, 2019
Like its predecessor, there's lots of cultural commentary going on in the moody and enjoyable Netflix take - issues of criminal determinism, ageism, poverty, moral compromising and, of course, celebrity.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 25, 2019
Director John Lee Hancock (The Founder) mounts a valiant effort to stretch a solid genre picture into an American epic with the tale of two ex-Texas Rangers who get pressed back into service...to stop the popular murder couple Bonnie & Clyde.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 22, 2019
For whatever reason, The Highwaymen exists.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 22, 2019
