Plot

This movie starts when the two meet and continues to their explosive end. Historical facts mingled in with some creative changes to make for an interesting story.

Pros

Watching a lovely 26 year old Faye Dunaway for two hours is never a bad thing and she excels in the role. The movie was rightfully nominated for 10 Academy Awards including ones for Dunaway, Beatty and Hackman. The ending was more violent and graphic than one would expect for a movie made in 1967; especially since one of the characters is a woman.

Cons

The heavy accents are annoying and if you've ever seen the real pictures of Bonnie and Clyde, it's obvious the director was looking for pretty people to play their roles.

Recommendation

This is one of the more entertaining cops and robbers movies and a fairly violent one for the year it was made.
