A perfect world

[onamirrorsedge]

This is a Clint Eastwood (sorry, again) film - but while he stars in it, Kevin Costner plays a more prominent role.

Kevin is known largely for Waterworld; his belly flopping mutating antics are legendary for all the wrong reasons, and Robin Hood, where he is seen naked on a waterfall, causing a movement known to most as Lesbianism.

Yet, in this film, Costner (I think, hit me back viper) is impressive. He is subtle and engaging, and I really enjoyed the film.

To me, this wasn't just a run of the mill bad man mellows to young kid as they become manpanions, it is a clever film that challenges that idea through the silence, the confusion and the genuinely messed up principles it conveys.

I don't know if anyone else has seen this but I think it is a good film and is worth a look by any Clint fans.

I honestly like this film. Aside from my utter dislike of Kevin Costner, he was decent along with the kid he takes on. This film is a slow character study, and it was nice to see Clint take a smaller role than he was accustomed to at the time.

Overall, a solid, if under appreciated film directed by Clint.

Nice summation tail - going to have to hero you for that.

Woohoo! Anything I can do to get brownie points from the dearest Flashes.

The movie is pretty good though. It doesn't get as much recognition as it doesn't have any major action nor any memorable set pieces. It pretty much is a story between Costner and the boy.

I am getting vexed by this mockery! Viper is even worse for it lol.

That kid, along with the one in the shining, is possibly the only child actor I can tolerate too.

He was fine, didn't blow my hair back or make me want to punch my television. So I guess in that sense, he was good.

I wouldn't mock you. I am scared of you.

[onamirrorsedge]

Well you can be scared of me, because I am scared of viper and he is your manpanion so I have nothing but respect for you!

I don't fear viper, so everyone has a weakness I guess. Just remember not to reason with those fools.
