Review of Bonnie and Clyde (1967) by Ricky W — 19 Jun 2010
One of the best gangster films of all-time, hands down. This film's influence on the gangster genre is unmatched, and a certain Quentin Tarantino found his niche for film-making after seeing this masterstroke.
What this movie offers is three career-making performances from Warren Beatty (offering a very different, sexually conflicted anti-hero), Faye Dunaway (a smoking hot blond who is easily frustrated), and Gene Hackman (a very different role, largely comedic as a joking redneck), as well as a potently violent ending that is permanently etched into my mind for eternity.
A Gene Wilder cameo is never a bad thing, either.
