Even the delectable and normally highly watchable Tom Hardy cannot salvage this film. It beggars belief that both he and Olivia Colman signed up for this drivel. The whole film is Tom Hardy driving his car and making and receiving a series of phone calls whilst doing so. That is it. To his wife, his kids, the female he had a one night stand with who is currently in labour with his baby, his workmate and his boss. I persevered to the end expecting Hardy to be involved in a crash and die which would have livened up the film a teensy bit but no, he has these conversations and then the film finishes with no climax whatsoever. Dull and boring from start to finish.

Far too dull

The curse of the Netflix original film strikes again. I've yet to see one that surpasses anything other than average, and I'm afraid The Highwaymen is no exception.

This has a great cast and who doesn't love Woody Harrelson? I'm on the fence about Kevin Costner though, I struggled to understand what he was even saying in some scenes. The costumes and sets etc are well done, but the problem with this film is that it is so damn dull. You would've thought a story about the capture of Bonnie and Clyde would be interesting, but this film really doesn't show it. The characters spend most of the film driving around in a car talking, and it is just so boring. It's a shame as it could've been interesting, but instead its 2 hours that dragged so much.

On paper Lynne Ramsay's art-house thriller looks like it's channelling Taxi Driver plus any Luc Besson thriller you care to mention: brutal mercenary (Phoenix) takes on a mission to free a senator's daughter, but the job goes bad, to say the least.

However, it's not just the story, but how you tell it - the plot itself is cut down to the bone, and the film is built around the way the director presents a succession of tiny details, a broodingly intense performance from Phoenix, and a driving score from Jonny Greenwood. Pretty heavy stuff throughout, with some graphic violence and a relentlessly bleak vision of the world, but not the kind of film you can really look away from once it has you in its grasp. Not sure it really qualifies as entertainment, but an impressive work of art.
