Clint Eastwood's A Perfect World is a competent, engrossing, and very well-acted film. However by the time it's over, you may come to the conclusion that it doesn't have as much to say as it thinks it does. The film has a number of strengths, but it just doesn't gel together as completely as most viewers would hope.
The story deals with two escaped criminals who kidnap a young boy and lead the police on a manhunt across Texas for them. The two escapees are hardly alike in their mannerisms and disposition, and soon it is just the intelligent one (Costner) and his young hostage who seems increasingly happy to be along for the ride. Clint Eastwood plays the head of the Texas Rangers (not the baseball team!) who leads a small group in not-so-hot pursuit of Costner and the boy. Laura Dern is along for the ride as a criminologist who keeps wanting to humanize Costner's character. There is also a smarmy FBI agent in the mix that is basically the embodiment of what Hollywood thinks of the US government. If ever there was a paper scarecrow of a character, than this guy is it. As the manhunt progresses, it becomes clear that Eastwood has a past with the Costner character, and would just rather he crossed the state line and became someone else's problem.
Costner and the boy, on the other hand, seem to be having a blast getting into one hairy situation after another with various small town types they come in contact with. Honestly, Costner has never been better than with this Butch Haynes character. His chemistry with the boy is exceptional to say the least. The boy has been raised as a Jehova's Witness, which is basically the Taliban wing of Christianity. He has also been without a father, and Costner finally gives him the opportunity to have some fun and bond with an adult male. Things turn very ugly in a surprisingly violent climax at a sharecropper's home. The events which transpire in that house are something you will not see coming.
There are some glaring problems with this film, though. Movies and other forms of entertainment have romanticized criminals to no end over the years as far back as the tales of Robin Hood. Costner's Butch Haynes character is just too intelligent and affable to be the kind of criminal he is reputed to be. A person with his charisma would just simply not be rotting away in a prison despite what was done to him at an early age by the authorities and his parents. The film has some glaring lapses in action, and a conclusion that takes WAY too long to work itself out. Eastwood does score points by doing a marvelous job of recreating rural Texas in 1963. It really does feel like you're riding along in the car with Costner and the boy.
