Storyline

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.

User Reviews

Good, but Slow.

Haven't seen alot of Netflix movies but this is the best Netflix movie I have seen.

The acting of Woody Harreloson and Kevin Costner was superb.

The pace of the movie is quite slow and there were times were the movie was kinda boring.

I love the bathroom scene and the scene when they are playing cards and gives us a backstory of Gault and Hamer.
