Producer/star Warren Beatty had to convince Warner Bros. to finance this film, which went on to become the studio's second-highest grosser. It also caused major controversy by redefining violence in cinema and casting its criminal protagonists as sympathetic anti-heroes. Based loosely on the true exploits of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker during the 30s, the film begins as Clyde (Beatty) tries to steal the car of Bonnie Parker (Faye Dunaway)'s mother.
Bonnie Parker is bored with life and wants a change. She gets her chance when she meets a charming young drifter by the name of Clyde Barrow. Clyde has dreams of a life of crime that will free him from the hardships of the Depression. The two fall in love and begin a crime spree that extends from Oklahoma to Texas. They rob small banks with skill and panache, soon becoming minor celebrities known across the country. People are proud to have been held up by Bonnie and Clyde; to their victims, the duo is doing what nobody else has the guts to do. To the law, the two are evil bank robbers who deserve to be gunned down where they stand.

Technically brilliant evocation of sleepy mid-America at the time of the public enemies, using every kind of cinematic trick including fake snapshots, farcical interludes, dreamy soft-focus and a jazzy score. For all kinds of reasons a very influential fi

Faye Dunaway makes this worth while
I can imagine that back in the day when this was first released that it would have caused a few raised eyebrows.

American Gangster : as Russell Crowe commented the other day, it's amazing nobody came up with the title before now; the two words fit together snug as a .45 in your fist. America didn't invent crime or corruption, and there are some terrific British, Japanese and Hong Kong gangster movies. But it was in America that capitalism was held up as a model for social betterment, that the pursuit of happiness was enshrined in the constitution, and that hundreds of thousands of European immigrants...
