This is certainly a different film than the one we are all familiar with. It is not a remake, but a re-imagining.
We all remember Clyde Barrow, played here by Emile Hirsch instead of Warren Beatty, as someone with sexual problems. Well, there are no problems in this movie, as Clyde and Bonnie Parker, played by Holliday Grainger instead of Faye Dunaway, get it on and get it on frequently. There was certainly no "sexual content" warning in Beatty's film.
Speaking of Bonnie Parker, she seems to be the one all after the publicity and fame. She completely outshine Clyde, who constantly wants to quit.
Bonnie wasn't the only strong woman in the picture. Elizabeth Reaser plays P.J. Lane, a reporter who knows what she wants and knows how to get it. I have never seen Reaser before, as she was in that fake vampire series that I refuse to watch, but she added immensely to the film.
The violence ramps up in the second half. Once they kill once, they get to like it and get more firepower, and leave more than one behind at each stop.
William Hurt is great as Frank Hamer, who always gets his man, and will certainly get Bonnie and Clyde at the end.
