This 2019 Netflix production is very well made. It is nearly perfect at most levels: actors, acting, directing, editing, cinematography - all done to near perfection, so characteristic of American production. There is no sobbing love affair with bandits, they are presented here for what they are - heartless killers, and they are hardly shown at all - just a few short glimpses here and there. They move like robots of mechanized mannequins, they have no faces but masks, and under the hail of bullets their bodies jerk like broken marionettes, but not humans. I liked that. The focus is not on them, but on people trying to stop them... as it should. Job well done.
