Bonnie + Clyde Done Very Well

Watch this if...you want to see a superbly acted portrayal of Bonnie & Clyde. Not only do you get to see some action, but you really get to delve into who these people were and what made them tick.

Acting/Casting: 9* - Brilliantly acted with an amazing cast. Beatty and Dunaway are top notch as Bonnie & Clyde. They do as good of a job as I have seen acting out the emotions of their characters. Gene Hackman plays a great supporting role as the brother of Clyde Barrow as well.

Directing/Cinematography/Technical: 8* - Some very nice directing and cinematography throughout. For a movie made in the 60's, I don't know what could have been done much better. I love the song that is played throughout the movie. It seems lighthearted, but fits the movie very well.

Plot/Characters: 8* - The plot is based on facts surrounding Bonnie & Clyde and their rise and fall. This movie features a good mixture of getting to know these two fugitives and showing us what exactly took place during their spree.

Entertainment Value: 7* - I found the movie to be entertaining, but I can see were some people might go into expecting a faster pace with more action. The action is there and abundant in the latter part of the film, but this movie is largely about getting to know Bonnie & Clyde. I would watch again in a few years and consider this a very good film.

My Score: 9+8+8+7 = 32/4 = 8.0
