and you will see the movie is extremely accurate. The only parts that historians claim were inaccurate were 1) the officer who was summoned from Texas and who grew up with Clyde and Bonnie and who could identify the couple actually was the one who disobeyed Costner's orders and fired on site killing Clyde instantly;2) In the scene where the cars roll into town with the mob the actual facts apparently are that one of the authorities had to come into town first to get the coroner. Upon returning to the scene of the ambush a lot of the crowd followed them and began to pull at Bonnie's hair along with other memorabilia.

My surprise was the hero like worship given to these cold blooded animals. Maybe times haven't changed that much.

Overall-a pretty good movie IMO.
