Overview
Dramatization of the Starkweather-Fugate killing spree of the 1950s, in which a teenage girl and her twenty-something boyfriend slaughtered her entire family and several others in the Dakota badlands.
I know you’re not supposed to say this about the “classics” but this movie was just ok. Thankfully Malick came back later in his career with far better (if less accessible for some) films.
