Watch the Hunt for Bonnie and Clyde in The Highwaymen Anatomy of a Scene

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Heavy rain anchors a heavy scene in The Highwaymen, a look at the Bonnie and Clyde story from the perspective of the lawmakers hunting them down. Kevin Costner plays Frank Hamer and Woody Harrelson plays Maney Gault, two former Texas Rangers brought out of retirement to chase the notorious criminals. Here, the two come across the body of a murdered convict they had paroled to help them in their search. The director John Lee Hancock staged the scene on a rainy night (using rain machines) and captured the characters mostly in silhouette to visually reflect the toll this work takes on them.

Costner has a tremendous work ethic. As a police officer in 2006, I spent some time with him on a night shoot in my city. After a take Kevin would sit in an SUV and catnap until the next shot was set up. Someone in the crew told me that Kevin was flying out that morning to work on another movie he was making simultaneously!

Great film-------of course, that means, it goes nowhere, since 14 y/o boys are now deciding films today. --------Good to see adults, playing adult roles, in a true & unknown, story. --------------Well done, Mr John Lee Hancock. ----------------------WolfSky9, 72 y/o

time gives us perspective. i'm glad history has vindicated the ambushers and portrayed bonnie and clyde as the psychopathic menace they were rather than in the romantic light hollywood was used to depicting them. turning them into beehives was absolutely necessary

I am so grateful that I got to work on this movie! It is truly interesting to see the story from this point of view. I did some background acting in the ladies auxiliary scene. Hats off to everyone who took part in making this movie happen, it is lovely.

Loved it, I'm from east Texas, around the Texarkana area and my mom used to tell me stories of Bonnie and Clyde running up and down the dirt roads going to Arkansas and Louisiana and Oklahoma, I actually saw the car in Louisiana back in the 80s

My father was BCI in New York and had a similar case and approached it this way or rather, they had to. Mr. Hancock is 100 percent correct about them knowing how it will end.

About time they started making real movies. The 1967 movie about B&C was a Hollywood leftwing fruit of a movie that made B&C look like good people, (they were murderers).

One of the best movies Ive seen quite sometime, did it right and did them justice. Well done. Thanks for the 2. 5 hour time machine. I love that era.

There's no reason for Cosner to have died his hair and speak with a gravelly voice but unfortunately he does both. This flick sucks balls.

In reality though, a member of the Barrow gang got McNabb furloughed in order to exact revenge on him and have him killed.
