Plot wise, the film boils down to a bank robbing couple (and accomplices) running from the law. But what an exciting two hours it is. What most works here, besides the heft of bloody gunplay, is the engaging personalities of the outlaws. Beatty and Dunaway make for an unassuming charismatic pair, whose partnership becomes enjoyable to watch even if their fate is inevitably doomed. The film strides a line of being fun, but also not glorifying these wrongful acts.
