On this episode we dive into the 1993 film A Perfect World, part two of our Clint Eastwood double-feature. Directed by Eastwood, the film was his follow-up to Unforgiven and features Kevin Costner in one of his best roles as Butch, an escaped convict who kidnaps a young boy. As they journey across the countryside, an unexpected bond forms between them. Meanwhile, Clint Eastwood plays a detective torn between his moral compass and upholding the law. We check out whether A Perfect World deserves to be among Eastwood’s best movies and Costner’s best performance.
