The Highwaymen Reviews

Movie Reviews

• [a] straightforward tale of cops and robbers, one in which the lines between good and evil are so sharply drawn, into a richly nuanced morality story

  by Michael O'Sullivan [Washington Post ]

• there are moments of beautiful stillness and nicely-filmed sequences --like a nifty car chase in dust clouds-- that make the hunt enjoyable. You'll know how it ends, but this time things are different: The good guys win

  by Mark Kennedy [Associated Press ]

• seeing the story from a different perspective could have been a worthy endeavor, but this morally dubious and ultimately suspenseless film is simply not worth the time

  by Katie Walsh [Tribune News Service ]

• a compelling period piece that flips the script on two near-mythical outlaws; "The Highwaymen" makes for a reasonably compelling and richly detailed procedural with two fine leads in appealingly crusty roles

  by Rafer Guzman [Newsday ]

• "The Highwaymen" is a leisurely ride with a pair of actors who know how to do a lot by not doing too much. It won’t reinvent cinema the way that Bonnie and Clyde once did. But it’s a ride worth taking nonetheless

  Review rate : B by Chris Nashawaty [Entertainment Weekly ]
