Hunting The Killers

There have been countless films, books and TV documentaries about notorious American gangsters Bonnie and Clyde, but nothing about the true-life detectives who came out of retirement to hunt them down.

The intriguing story is now told in Netflix’s new film, The Highwaymen, starring Hollywood A-listers Woody Harrelson and Kevin Costner.

It begins in 1934 with Bonnie Parker (Emily Brobst) and Clyde Barrow (Edward Bossert) still at large after a violent two-year crime spree.

Both in their early 20s, Bonnie and Clyde have led the so-called ‘Barrow gang’ on a series of armed robberies and murders from Iowa to Texas, and have been responsible for killing more than a dozen people.

As the film opens, the ruthless pair orchestrate a bloody jailbreak that sees members of their gang escape from a Texas prison.
