Movie: Perfect World (1993)

Here is another movie that did well, got good reviews and then slipped under the radar. For the first time we see Hollywood heavyweights Clint Eastwood and Kevin Costner join forces.

Directed by Clint Eastwood the movie focussed on the relationship between a fugitive on the run(Costner) and a young boy he has kidnapped. The boy who has grown up without a father figure develops an affinity to the wanted man. The unlikely duo are tailed by a Texas agent(Eastwood) and his sidekick(Laura Dern). The fugitive develops a paternal affinity to the boy who has been denied simple childhood pleasures like Halloween.
The dialog between Costner and the boy are particularly telling.

Eastwood is content staying in the background, most of the time playing the victim of his bumbling peers. This was Eastwood's first movie after claiming an Oscar for Unforgiven. Go ahead and watch this one. You'll like it.
