George C A very intriguing film shown from the perspective of law enforcement's efforts to track down and bring to justice the murderers Bonnie & Clyde. Costner and Harrelson do a masterful acting job in this tale of back country pursuit and justice. This is a very entertaining tale of two old friends in their quest to hunt down the two no one could. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/07/25 Full Review Harper L The Highwaymen is a fantastic film, largely thanks to its two main characters. I absolutely loved how different they are from each other, yet they complement each other so well. Their dynamic is both compelling and heartfelt, making them incredibly endearing. The way they work together, despite their contrasting personalities, adds a unique layer to the film and makes their journey even more enjoyable to watch. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/01/25 Full Review babarizam D Ending is awful. A dozen of armed police officers and Texas rangers guys fired blindly on two criminals that they could have easily arrested. This is what we call blind law and justice system which failed in situations where it needs to prove its worth Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Sebastian L The Highwaymen is not a bad movie in any way, and Costner and Harrelson bring a lot of weight to this somewhat worn out legend. What keeps the film from being great is the "for everybody"-road that's been taken. Artistically it's been played safe; the story, the dialogue and the characters seem familiar enough without being clichés and with a few striking exceptions the cinematography is just fine. I guess you don't go "guns blazing" with a budget this size - you do something adequate to keep everybody calm. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Early W The movie sports two great performances by Costner and Harrelson as Hamer and Gault. Two former Texas Rangers that roam our nation's highways in pursuit of the infamous criminals Bonnie and Clyde. The portrayal of the two criminals is sparse as the focus is on the men hunting them and a slow burn of a detective story that focuses more on them following leads, and trying to deduce the trios (they had another prison escapee with them at the time) next course of action. The juxtaposition of law enforcement's thoughts on the cold blooded criminals vs. how the public views them as celebrities is quite interesting and poses many challenges for Gault and Hamer along the way. One might wonder if they had attempted their crime spree in modern times that it might have been easier to find them since odds are they would be posting to Tik Tok about their crimes. Definitely worth a watch if you are into slow burning police procedurals with a few intense action scenes. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/29/24 Full Review Audience Member It was okay. Some elements are cool, but it dragged too much. The best part of it was Harrelson. Cool to learn about history though.
