Before diving into a review of Bonnie Clyde which began its two night premiere Dec. 8 on Lifetime AE and the History channel we think it s important to get one thing straight This TV event is by no means an attempt to outdo Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway s original 1967 film. It s merely meant to introduce the infamous outlaws story to the next generation in a new exciting way and in that HollywoodLife.com believes it succeeds with guns blazing.
Bonnie Clyde Review What We LovedOur favorite casting choice Emile Hirsch is the perfect Clyde Barrow for a 2013 audience. The 28 year old fuses his trademark boyish charm with the real life criminal s ruthlessness resulting in a fully realized character whom new viewers can be more sympathetic to than they probably anticipated.
Take Our PollBritish actress Holliday Grainger whom we still remember fondly as The Borgias Lucrezia was also an inspired casting choice. Her Bonnie Parker is fiery fearless and like Emile s Clyde strangely compelling.
In 2009 when a different Bonnie Clyde movie was in pre production Faye famously slammed the decision to cast Hilary Duff in the titular female role she asked Couldn t they at least cast a real actress but we think Miz Dunaway will be much more pleased with Holliday s performance.
And with additional stand out performances from stars like Holly Hunter William Hurt Twilight s Elizabeth Reaser and Modern Family s Sarah Hyland there s plenty to love about Bonnie Clyde even when the gun toting duo isn t raising hell.
Bonnie Clyde Give Us Your ReviewIs Bonnie Clyde perfect No. Does it leave plenty of room for improvement Sure. But is it at heart a solid way to pass a few hours and lift us out of our wintery chill Absolutely.
HollywoodLifers give us your review of Bonnie Clyde below then tell us Will you be tuning in Dec. 9 for the conclusion

Writing is just god awful with no regard to historical fact. Bonnie s portrayed totally unlike reality. And their first robbery is a bank with Bonnie in charge Laughably bad. The 1967 movie version was much more faithful to the truth than this sack of poop.

I don t know which is worse. the fake accents or the poor depiction of Southwest depression era life. Hard to imagine this could have been any worse.
