There is enough to recognize its potential, but it's utterly squandered by uneven pacing, inadequate character work & lack of thematic cohesiveness.
Arthur Penn’s Bonnie and Clyde was a highly influential piece of cinema that ushered in a new era of violent and stylish storytelling that featured young people at the center. It was controversial and sexy, launched both title stars to superstardom, and has cemented itself in Hollywood history by birthing a new subgenre.
This film is ridiculous. On paper and on screen, Johnny & Clyde is absolutely bonkers. The film begins as a stylized crime thriller with zany characters and even more bombastic costume choices. However, it lacks depth, and is a hollow imitation of the far better Bonnie and Clyde and Natural Born Killers. For all the pushback against those films, they at least had a solid foundation that offered critical commentary on the state of youth culture and violence in society.
Megan Fox can barely be called a saving grace, as her character is perhaps the one element of interest here. She is a “villain” with a perspective, and her efforts to stop Johnny and Clyde are just as documented as Johnny and Clyde’s attempt to rob her. However, the script by DeNucci and Nick Principe is hardly worth crediting for any interest generated by this character. Fox is a magnetic performer; despite having little, she makes it work.
