The Highwaymen is available on Netflix from today

Kevin Costner's new Bonnie and Clyde film reminds you just how cold-blooded these killers wereIt may have been 85 years since Bonnie and Clyde met their maker via a hail of bullets near Bienville Parish, Louisiana, but their story continues to intrigue.

Bonnie and Clyde were cold-blooded killers and their gang is believed to have murdered at least nine police officers and several civilians.The Highwaymen tells the untold true story of the legendary detectives who brought down Bonnie and Clyde.

Writer John Fusco spent time with Frank Hamer Jr to get the story right as just like Bonnie and Clyde, Hamer's story is every bit as gripping. Before he reached the age of 50, Hamer had known both ends of a gun, having himself been shot over a dozen times and reportedly left for dead on a few occasions. Credited with having killed between 40 and 70 people, Hamer is a Texas Ranger Hall of Fame inductee and three of his brothers were also Texas Rangers.

"That seems funny because with today's technology, we'd probably catch them in an hour but for three, four years, they were on the run. There were no radios and even if the police did have one, there was nobody to talk to because they didn't have two! Stuff like that kind of blows your mind."
