DVD: Bonnie And Clyde

Glamorous criminals also demand our sympathy in the movies. Whether it's for random acts of kindness, like letting a kindly looking sole keep their spare change while you clean out a bank, or that you are stuck with people you dislike and can't get away from because you are all on the run for the law. Mainly it's because after committing a list of crimes long enough to make War And Peace feel inadequate you start to wish you had a quiet life.

Bonnie And Clyde is a seminal film in the crime genre. It's still looks glorious and packs a number of thrills along the way. However the characters don't lend themselves to empathy so when the final shots are fired there is a sense of closure, and nothing more.
