The Highwaymen

The Highwaymen (2019) reimagines the pursuit of Bonnie and Clyde through the eyes of Frank Hamer and Manny Gault, former Texas Rangers tasked with ending the duo's reign of terror. Set in 1934, the film captures the moral complexity of a manhunt where the hunted are both vilified and mythologized by the public. Director John Lee Hancock eschews the glamour of his subjects for a sober, character-driven narrative that explores the consequences of violence and the weight of duty.
