Intended as a preamble to a feature currently in development, Elaine Zicrees “Bonnie & Clyde: End of the Line” features the twosome at their lowest. As desperation and fear sets in, they find themselves in a barn contemplating their lives, and confronting each other on what led them to a life of crime. Zicree’s short is filmed in a grainy and glossy retro atmosphere that keeps “End of the Line” constantly genuine in its setting and attempted period angle. While some may think it attempts to glorify the crime team, “End of the Line” is actually the portrait of two people stuck in an endless loop of crime, and their inability to think beyond breaking the law.

The details to keeping the set pieces true to the era seem almost painstaking and it shows through the tiniest detail. Dixie Lee Sedgewick and Dominic Comperatore are a worthy team to portray the couple, as they provide a healthy conflict and volatile chemistry needed to convince audiences, and the two really sell “End of the Line” as a strong drama leading to the potential death that awaits them just as they considered a life of law abiding.

Beautiful production values, attention to detail and good performances from its cast make “Bonnie & Clyde: End of the Line” a worthy glimpse into a more docile Bonnie and Clyde before they met their fates on the road. I’ll await the full length film.
