The Highwaymen (3/10) by Tony Medley Runtime 132 minutes. R Chasing down Bonnie and Clyde in 1934 must have been tedious business and this movie shows how tedious because it is long and boring and, well, tedious. But that’s no surprise because star Kevin Costner is the master of long, slow, boring tedious movies. Aiding him in this effort is Woody Harrelson. They play Frank Hamer and Manny Gault respectively, who apparently were two former Texas Rangers who tracked down Bonnie and Clyde and ambushed them, putting an end to their crime spree. Directed by John Lee Hancock from a script by John Fusco, there’s not much to tell. Frank and Manny drive around a lot and talk a lot and then the last five minutes of the film is the shootout that we’ve already seen in Warren Beatty’s 1967 film, which was much more entertaining, told from Bonnie & Clyde’s POV. The only things interesting in the film are the cinematography, often showing aerial shots of Frank and Manny as they drive through the wilderness chasing down the bandits, and the photographs shown during the closing credits of the real people, but they certainly aren’t worth sitting through more than two hours of this lackluster monotony.
