Reaction: We were expecting far better numbers based on the cast and director (and the writer coming off the success of last season's Booster Gold). Hopefully the performance of this and Dishonest aren't a sign of things to come from Michael B. Jordan's future films for us (he stars in High Society due out in Round 6), as that now makes it two sizable bombs in a row with the young star top-billed.
"This is not your parents' Bonnie and Clyde. It features a great soundtrack and some solid performances from its talented cast. Just don't expect a factual telling of the events." - Charles Triano, Los Angeles Times
"The film is bit of a mixed bag, but it is a fun ride that provides an enjoyable twist on a well-known story." - Tim Durand, San Francisco Chronicle
"It desperately wants to feel like if Quentin Tarantino remade Arthur Penn's Bonnie and Clyde. The problem here though is that Taika Waititi is certainly no Tarantino. He lacks the edge to pull off such an experiment." - James Tubbs Jr., Vice Magazine
