A movie about 2 bank robbers made in the 70s or 80s.?These 2 guys were bold and hooked on robbing banks. I mean they would disappear at a family cookouts after giving eachother that "lets rob a bank look". The movie ended with a shootout with the feds. Awesome movie. What is the name of it? | |
Could it be this one?
"In the Line of Duty: The F.B.I. Murders" (1988) (TV)
starring
Ronny Cox ... Agent Benjamin 'Ben' Grogan
Bruce Greenwood ... Agent Jerry Dove
Michael Gross ... William "Bill" Russell Matix
David Soul ... Michael "Mike" Lee Platt
Michael Gross and David Soul are the buddies who take off to rob banks and do all sorts of crimes. They end up having a huge shootout with FBI agents in which many of them are killed. I remember because this was a real change-of-pace role for Michael Gross, who has been playing the hippie-type dad in "Family Ties".

One of the reviews gives more information that might tell you if this matches the movie you're thinking about:
An explosive and completely true account of the most horrific shootout between criminals and federal law enforcement in U.S. history. It is the story of Bill Mattix and Mike Platt, two former Army Rangers and ordinary blue collar guys who have families, raise kids, and pay their taxes. They also rob armored cars and shoot people for a living. And they are damn good at it. They kill people about as routinely as mowing their lawns with absolutely no remorse or second thought as to the consequences of their actions. Their exploits attract the attention of the Miami F.B.I. field office who become more and more interested in finding out who they are. The agents quickly become obsessed with stopping them before they rob and kill again. It sets the scene for the eventual showdown and the carnage that ensues when they try to corner the robbers.
Based on a true story Dog Day Afternoon, starring Al Pacino
