Quite a different look at Bonnie and Clyde and the men who killed them.

This is an interesting book about Bonnie and Clyde and other people involved with their lives and deaths.

Quote:

Nothing could have been further from the truth. Clyde and Bonnie were perhaps the most inept crooks ever, and their two-year crime spree was as much a reign of error as it was of terror. Lacking the sophistication to plot robberies of big-city banks, the Barrow Gang preyed mostly on small mom-and-pop groceries and service stations. Even at that, they often came up empty-handed and were reduced to breaking into gum machines for meal money. Both were crippled, Clyde from cutting off two of his toes while in prison and Bonnie from a terrible car crash caused by Clyde's reckless driving. Constantly on the run from the law, they lived like animals, camping out in their latest stolen car, bathing in creeks, and dining on cans of cold beans and Vienna sausages. Yet theirs was a genuine love story. Their devotion to each other was as real as their overblown reputation as criminal masterminds was not.

I watched this a couple days ago and thought it was above average. Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson were excellent as the two aging Texas Rangers who chased Bonny and Clyde down. I looked at a couple of Hollywood film reviews after watching it, and was not surprised to see the left wing Hollywood elite thought the film was too conservative in it's approach, and they didn't like the focus on law and order. Frankly,my criticism would be on the bloody violence, not the politics.

The book Go Down Together has the execution like ambush of Bonnie and Clyde in their car a little different from the movie but not much. Frank Hamer - Wikipedia
