O tem filmu

Set in 1963 in Texas, Academy Award-winner Kevin Costner ("The Bodyguard," "Dances with Wolves") plays an escaped convict, who, in the course of eluding the Texas Ranger pursuing him, Academy Award-winner Clint Eastwood ("Unforgiven," "Million Dollar Baby"), takes a hostage -- a fatherless young boy who has led a strictly constrained and unhappy life. Together, the con and boy develop a unique friendship, enabling both of them to experience some of the pleasures missing from their childhoods. But their life on the run is on a collision course with the reality of their situation and the laws of a very imperfect world. Co-starring Golden Globe-winner Laura Dern ("Jurassic Park") and Linda Hart("Get Shorty," "Tin Cup"). Variety calls this a "lean, finely chiseled work...a somber, subtly nuanced study" and The New York Times calls this "Majestic, eloquent, profoundly moving. The high point of Mr. Eastwood's directing career" and calls Costner's performance "absolutely riveting...an overdue reminder of why he is a film star of such magnitude." Directed by Clint Eastwood. MPAA Rating: PG-13 (c) 1993 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. All Rights Reserved.

This is my idea of a fabulous film, a slow burner. This way you get to know the characters better. Costner, Eastwood, Dern & the young boy Phillip, each have very key roles. You learn a lot about Costner's character, a lot of good & some deep rooted bad stuff. Philip helps bring out the better side to Costner to a degree. The twist at the end is surprising & saddening. Watch it a couple of times to get the full meaning of the film. It's worth it.

Kostner and Eastwood at their absolute best in a road trip movie that takes one twist and turn after another. Kostner at first seems cast against type whilst Eastwood is in his element yet as the story unfolds it becomes clear that both are masterful players and their roles slowly exchange in a play off against each other where neither meets the other until the final scenes.

Really good movie
