This film was an interesting study in how passivity (or worse, open support) works against the values of a community. I felt like it did as much to paint the folk-hero culture around B&C as equally villainous as the outlaws themselves. The scenes of sideways glances, open glorification, and media complicity was a timeless tale and warrants further reflection.

Nothing changes - brings to mind the O. J. Simpson chase. There's no accounting for the mentality of some people.

I really liked how they didnt show their faces clearly till the end. It brought a certain amount of shock value as to seeing how young and innocent they looked. But how brutal the crimes seemed to be. Really screwed with the audiences minds I think. And I knew about B&C for awhile but didnt really realize just how popular they seemed to be. Not to mention how glorified by the media.

I actually thought they looked quite evil...which is a credit to what the filmmakers set out to do. (ie de-glorify)

I thought the film was pretty honest about Hammer's brutality. I also thought it was interesting that he went straight back to retirement. It seemed to me there was plenty of evil in this film to go around...you know: the problem is us.

Really? Both my wife and I thought they looked so young and innocent. Course we know they are just another pair of psychotic killers.
