Infamous

I rather liked it, something to watch after a long day. Brain power not required.

My biggest recommendation I can give is if you are thinking of watching this movie go and watch Spree (2020) instead. That movie handles every subject in this movie 10% better. It's so much more satirical and bitting than this movie.

My biggest praise is the soundtrack at the beginning of the movie. The music department really understood the basic premise of the movie more than the actors or the filmmakers. It is full of "neon" dreamlike songs that really capture this youthful, whirlwind, runaway in the night fantasy. Now only if the movie captured that feeling.

The characters are really childlike and really directionless. This is also not helped by the acting. It is really cartoon like.

I did warm more towards the movie when Amber Riley appeared. It got a little better but I still wouldn't recommend it.

So the two main characters here are not Bonnie and Clyde. Do not try to compare them with that duo ... although I reckon it is impossible not to think about that pairing. Every movie that has a combination of a male and a female criminal on the run ... well you kind of have to think about that. Which is a testament to Bonnie and Clyde than anything else (whatever version you may prefer of them and whatever deviation that may include).

Bella Thorned ... I am inclined to believe she knows what effect she has on men (and some women and undecided individuals and whatever definition we still may get in the future). But she really has to play a crazy woman here and it is easy to not want to ... well follow her. There is criticism of social media and other things here, but it could have been build in a better more coherent way. As it is, I understand that some people have issues with the movie overall. Still it is a good movie. If you just sit back, relax and watch it for what it is. It does not hold back any punches, while it also lacks any individual we may find ... likeable! So it will be tough to root for anyone here ... unless your love for Bella is that strong you don't care for her despicable and insane character ...

Killing people and being a stupid psychotic beach is obviously good thing. Well done,!

Bonnie and Clyde for a social media generation could been a really good film. The use of music makes you think it is going be stylish. Sadly it's very dull. The leads look good but can't act. The film fails to get you to connect to or care about them. So you end up not really bothered about what happens to them. Ironically a social media generation will be on their phones and lost interest in a few minutes in and it doesn't get any better. Watch Spring Breakers to see how it should have been done.
