    Storyline

    Edit
    The outlaws made headlines. The lawmen made history. From director John Lee Hancock (The Blind Side), THE HIGHWAYMEN follows the untold story of the legendary detectives who brought down Bonnie and Clyde. When the full force of the FBI and the latest forensic technology aren't enough to capture the nation's most notorious criminals, two former Texas Rangers (Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson) must rely on their gut instincts and old school skills to get the job done. —Netflix

    • Trivia
      When Texas Ranger Frank Hamer was earlier portrayed by Denver Pyle in Bonnie and Clyde (1967), he was characterized as an incompetent fool, prompting his widow Gladys to sue Warner Brothers for defamation of his character. In 1971 an out-of-court settlement was reached.
    • Goofs
      During the movie, "FBI" is used by characters and seen on the underside of a plane.

      The events of the movie took place from early Feb to May 23 in 1934.

      The Bureau of Investigation (BOI or BI for short) did not change it's name to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) until 1935.

    Excellent
    The cinematography, sets and costumes were all, first rate. It's this kind of attention to detail which sets this movie apart from some others. Woody Harrelson is the stand-out performer to me, but Costner more than carries his weight. The atmosphere of austerity in the Western States is palpable. Once again Netflix has nailed it, keep it up guys.
