The outlaws made headlines. The lawmen made history. Watch The Highwaymen on Netflix March 29, 2019.

Looks great. Deffo watching that. I like Woody and Costner.

cheesyboy · 20 Feb 2019 at 16:29

Yup, will be watching. Pretty happy to watch WH in anything, to be honest.

Oh this looks great!

rids57 · 20 Feb 2019 at 18:24

I'll be all over this

I thought it’s a cinematic release! Looks great.

Strangely for a Netflix film, it’s being released in the cinemas a fortnight before the Netflix release. Wouldn’t surprise me if the lead actors asked for that.

Oh! That’s cool, might watch it on the big screen then!

That looks fantastic!

It is looking pretty promising at least. Will keep my eyes open for it at the cinema.

Must have Oscar hopes - needs to run for 2 weeks at a certain amount of cinemas before home release to qualify. Another reason why ppl are not bothering watching oscars anymore

Isn't it too late for this year's Oscar's?

VincentHanna · 22 Feb 2019 at 07:49

Yes.

But not next year's

I think they actually started doing this with selected other films last year - admittedly in the US (I seem to recall Annhilation was a cinematic release)

Cant watch the clip at work but will look out for it over the weekend - certainly enjoy WH in majority of things (although didn't enjoy True Detective at all) al the way back to cheers

Looks good but I am disappointed as I got my hopes up that Netflix were showing the Sam Jones cheese-fest from the 80, "The Highwayman". I used to love watching that as a kid. I loved the cast. "Jacko" Jackson was always a hoot, Flash Gordon, Voyager's Tuvok and Claudia from B5. Awesome!

Oh man, the suggestions on that page are like my dream viewing as a kid. Street Hawk, Manimal, Blue Thunder and Automan.

Wow netflix are on a tear right now, just uber high quality films and tv series each month almost.

Heh one of the comments on that trailer:

"Bonnie and Clyde walk into a BAR......"

horseunderwater · 26 Feb 2019 at 06:26

Well that looks good

cheesyboy · 11 Mar 2019 at 15:16

One star in the Guardian. Oh well. Might watch anyway.

Or I'll just put it on the list that I never get round to actually watching....

I’ll still watch. I often really enjoy films that have been panned by critics. It’s all down to individual preference really.
