IMO, probably the best told story of the Bonnie and Clyde era. Instead of through the eyes of B&C, it's told through the lens of two former Texas Rangers who hunted them down. The film takes some liberties with what actually happened but by and large it's both an accurate portrayal and really, really good film. Perhaps the best original Netflix movie I've seen to date.

Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson - no brainer to see this if you haven't yet.

I watched this one too. It was good. I liked Costner a lot more than Harrelson (as he gets older, he sounds more and more like he has a mouth full of cotton when he speaks). It's interesting that they showed so little of Bonnie & Clyde in this movie. Netflix also put on the original B&C movie (the 1967 version with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway) and I watched about 2/3rd of that all over again. That movie hasn't aged that great really. It's okay, and I get it's ground-breaking in some regards (especially the final scene), but honestly, it's a bit boring 52 years later.

If you want to watch another male-dominated new movie on Netflix, Triple Frontier isn't bad. It's a heist film in South America about four ex-military buddies who rob a drug king.
