    There is something special about the production, with its brash, vivid style, indelible performances by movie icons, and bold mixture of violence and comedy, romance and tragedy.

    Bonnie and Clyde is a milestone in the history of American movies, a work of truth and brilliance. It is also pitilessly cruel, filled with sympathy, nauseating, funny, heartbreaking, and astonishingly beautiful.
  3. So definitive in so many ways, Bonnie and Clyde has become a 20th-century touchstone.
  4. Reviewed by: Staff (Not credited)

    This inconsistency of direction is the most obvious fault of Bonnie and Clyde, which has some good ingredients, although they are not meshed together well.

  1. Boasting some brilliant performances across the board, "Bonnie And Clyde" challenges audiences with shocking imagery, enduring pathos, and some truly iconic onscreen relationships. Expand
  2. A great movie with great acting based off the real bank robbers Bonnie and Clyde, that shows that a life of a criminal is no life at all. A movie worth seeing. Expand

    I still love it now as much as i have loved it before. It is pretty unique in its genre. I can't wait to watch it again so I will be renting it tomorrow. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favour...go and watch it...I am sure you are going to enjoy it! Expand
  4. Man tries to steal car, woman catches him, flirt, do a robbery, do some more, become infamous, Uncle Jesse comes after them.
    I believe this wa
    s quite controversial at the time due to the violence although it doesn't seem too bad now (The ending however is still brutal).
    Faye Dunaway is sexier than sexy & Gene Hackman as convincing as ever.
    I did sympathise with Bonnie in that I found Blanche annoying as hell.
    Also the cinematography ranges from very good to awful.
