THANK YOU:  The 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde glorified two-bit killers.  Kyle Smith now reviews The Highwaymen, starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson, which sets the record straight.

In 1967, many of the victims’ friends and family were still alive and had to watch as America swooned over merciless killers (played by gorgeous actors Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway) .  I hope some of them are still around to watch this story of the ex-Texas Rangers who stopped the Barrow gang’s rampage.

I send a giant “Thank You” to director John Lee Hancock and screenwriter John Fusco.  Score one for decency.
