20 Best Netflix Original Movies Of 2019 - Ranked

13. The Highwaymen

Woody Harrelson and Kevin Costner playing former Texas Rangers tasked with hunting down Bonnie and Clyde? Sign absolutely everybody up!

In all seriousness, the premise of The Highwaymen is pure gold, with two incredible actors, a gritty crime story, and the director of The Blind Side, Saving Mr. Banks, and The Founder - John Lee Hancock - at the helm.

And the finished product is mostly able to deliver the goods. While 1967's Bonnie and Clyde remains the superior movie centred around this story, The Highwaymen works due to the unwavering chemistry between its two leads, some superb production design, and a satisfyingly bloody conclusion.

It's a bit slower than it should've been and it does start to sag towards the middle, but if you can power through to the third act, you won't be disappointed.

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
