Recently, I went to watch the Highwaymen and I think this movie was great.

I feel that not much people are talking about this movie, there isn’t much reviews about this movie, maybe it’s a Netflix show that have to compete with Captain Marvel or Shazam in a real cinema?

I say this movie is immersive because of how it does not feel like a movie anymore, it’s more of a documentary. Most of it have to do with the environment, I think they did a great job in creating an environment that looks and feel 1930s. From how people talk to simple things like how the car doors open at the front instead of the back. This movie really made me believe that it was shot in the 1930s.

The movie is long and it’s a buddy cop movie that take its time to develop it’s characters. The chemistry between Frank Hamer and Mandy Gault felt so real. This movie is about the people that killed Bonnie and Clyde, not Bonnie and Clyde. Throughout this movie I learn to understand how Frank Hamer and Mandy Gault, the Highwaymen, act. Frank Hamer is a more serious type while Mandy Gault is goofy, which might be fake character traits that the director created but it makes the story more interesting. We learn that these two people are retired old men but are called back to do a near impossible mission.

This movie’s transition is also really smooth, they usually switch back and forth with what the Highwaymen are doing to what Bonnie and Clyde are doing. It’s a long goose chase but it has a satisfying ending. Again, this movie took it’s time to let us understand whats happening. We see the troubles that the Highwaymen have to face, like supporters of Bonnie and Clyde which play a big role in the movie.

This movie definitely made me learn more about what happen back then. And these actors really adds up to the immersion.
