A lot of fugitive movies nowadays owe a lot to this film. Beatty and Dunaway are great, and the direction is top notch. For 1967, I was surprised by how subversive and unconventional it was. Natural Born Killers and The Devil's Rejects were obviously offspring of this film...but as I have read...this was a movie that opened the door to these kinds of ultraviolent fugitive tales. Very entertaining with turns by Gene Hackman and Gene Wilder.
