Ride or Die! Partner in crime! Forever and always! That's Bonnie and Clyde - the famous criminals that were always on the run. It never stopped with these two, their love for each other was expressed through crime. They met while Clyde was trying to steal Bonnie's mother car. Bonnie really doesn't like what is going on in her life - working as a waitress at a truckstop diner - so she teams up with Clyde. Clyde has always been a crook. They started small and was robbing little stores and that quickly went to robbing banks. After Bonnie's first robbery, she felt alive. She felt like she could do anything. Being a waitress in a small town wasn't good enough for her.

Clyde also steals cars, and it wasn't like the law didn't know him but when he shot someone it was clear his name was out there even more. He offers Bonnie a way out so she doesn't go down with him, but she refuses. Bonnie and Clyde choose to make this little adventure a group one. They added a mechanic to the group who would help them when they needed to fix cars they stole. Later on, Clyde's brother Buck and his wife join to criminal life. Well, Buck's wife was kind of forced, she would be the reason why they got caught. She was a woman with a squeaky voice and a scary mind. Now the gang is together and they will be on the move. With the law following them, it never stopped them.

Bonnie and Clyde's love for each other showed a lot through out the movie. They always were there for each other. Many people today use them as a reference about the love - not the criminality. Yes, it shows that they were clearly criminals but you have to see how they were down to ride for one another. When you hear ''Bonnie and Clyde'' you think about how tight their relationship was. Watching this movie you would think the money brought them together but I truly don't think so. They lived together and died together.
