This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

... View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
... View MoreThis is another of those films that gets a "1" only because it's not possible to give it a "0". Normally, I am critical of a film if it is meant to be historic and the costuming fails abysmally. This is not true in this case. If there is one thing that could be praised, it would be the very well done costuming. But sadly, like another "historical" series ("Outlander") though the costuming is brilliant, the story line is absolute rubbish. The story of Bonnie and Clyde is fascinating enough without the voice-over, the pure fantasy story that was woven through this. I tried about three different times to watch this (thank goodness for Netflix) and I gave up. The 1967 version with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway was not good, but it was far, far better than this nonsense.
... View MoreI'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.
... View MoreI missed this mini-series when it was originally aired a couple of years ago and now just watched most of it on the History Channel. I can not recommend this program on this cable station at all for the reasons mentioned below.Sorry to say this but as a four-hour presentation it has what I believe to be nearly 90 minutes of commercials! Not just ads but AWFUL, long station breaks! I do not know who made the mini series or who broadcast it originally a couple of years ago. If it was an original HBO or Showtime production that would partially explain why it was so damn long on the History Channel.If it was made for premium pay cable then it should have stayed there and not have been cut to pieces by advertisers! I'm 62 years old and I've have already viewed two LIFETIMES of terrible prescription drug and car insurance commercials and resent having my intelligence so rudely insulted by advertisers. I do not need any help whatsoever in deciding what drugs to ask my doctor to prescribe OR who to pay to insure my damn car!Not to mention the constant self-promotion programming during breaks by The History Channel. I miss being able to record something like this on VCR and then later wear out the machine fast-forwarding the ads.
... View MoreHaving been seduced by her performance in The Borgias, I watched this purely because I spotted Holliday Grainger in the cast list. While she's no Lucrezia in this, she holds her own with a charismatic performance and believable accent. Emile as Clyde was a pleasant surprise; likable and authentic. However, liberties have clearly been taken with the interpretation of true events. Take it with a pinch of salt and enjoy it for what it is - an indulgent retelling of an iconic piece of American history which infuses fact with fiction for impact. There's eye candy aplenty with props and casting, and the music adds atmosphere. It's easy to get a sense of the period and it left me feeling vaguely nostalgic and inspired to find out more about the reality behind the story.
