The Highwaymen on Netflix

[loknload]

If you can take a look,,, it’s worthwhile, just finished watching it and I enjoyed it.
For those who don’t know it’s a movie about Frank Hamer during the time he tracked down and ended Bonnie and Clyde’s rein of terror. I would say it’s pretty historically correct with you Hollywood add on!
Kevin Costner plays a great part as Hamer and Woody Harrelson does a good job as well as his friend and cohort,,,Mandy Gault.
It worth a look!

We dropped Netflix. I'll have to settle for your Cliffs notes.

We have Netflix and look forward to seeing this movie. Both Costner and Harrelson are fine actors, in my book.

It is on our schedule for this evening

After reading Stephen Hunter's book G-Man, which opens with the demise of Bonnie and Clyde, I thought this movie looked pretty good. Reportedly the final take-down scene was filmed at the exact location where B&C were translated from this mortal coil to the next plane. Can't have better versimilitude than that.

The gun shop.

Yep. I've got it cued up between rounds.

Costner's a stiff (IMO) but he's made movies I've enjoyed.
Harrelson? One of a kind.
Looking forward to this.

Just watched it.
It’s a little slow in places, but that’s probably realistic.
Clyde’s car is in a casino in Primm, NV.
That's right on the CA Stateline
I have passed by there a number of times but never wanted to pay the I think $15 to see that Ford all shot up!

Watched with my wife. Outstanding telling of the tale with some smaller tales included. Doing what needs doing is gritty at times and will keep you awake afterward. Joe

Just watched it last night. Good movie, worth watching. Historically accurate, don’t know.

My wife and i watched it last night, thought it was very good. I have previously read that Hamer had a Remington model 8 when Bonnie and Clyde were shot, it looked like a model 8 that Costner had as well. It also looked like a real Colt Monitor in the gun shop and shooting scene, thought that was really neat but don't know if anyone actually had one at the shooting. There was certainly a BAR of some sort, something made all of those holes in the car.

I watched it yesterday and thought it was great. I liked the way they never got into any Bonnie and Clydes personal lives, as in portray them as robin hoods instead of murderers. Pretty accurate depiction of Depression era camps.

 

[ColbyBruce]

It is inconceivable to me that such a large portion of the population could worship murdering, thieving white trash and turn out in such large numbers for the funerals of those two.

I watched it last night and enjoyed it very much, especially when "Hamer" went into a small town gun shop and began asking to see BAR, Colt Monitor, semi auto 12 gauge with short barrel , Dbl 12 gauge, Springfield w/ glass, .45 automatic pistol w/ extra magazines, Model 1917 w/ moon clips, Thompson w/ magazines and drums, cases of ammo, and ended up with also a Winchester Model 94 "because it never jams". Interesting that a small gun shop would have that type of inventory during the depression ?. When "Hamer" left home with his wife's new Ford car he had a SA and a Remington Model 8. During the rest of the movie up to the B&C ambush "Hamer" and his partner used only their SAs and shotguns ?

Let's be careful here boys about our " words slinging " . My fiancé is distantly related to Bonnie Parker . Now I know why she's such a good shot with a 357 Smith 586 ,4" . LOL , Regards, Paul

 

[THE PILGRIM]

I did keep thinking-
Didn't those Guys have any Holsters?
They mostly Mexican Carried Colt SA's driving around in a car loaded with guns!

 

[Muss Muggins]

Couple of LEO's at the coffee shop reminded me about it this morning. It's on the list . . .
