There are many movies that are based on the same theme and some of them are even difficult to remember. But the credit for this nice movie must go to Clint Eastwood in the manner he has handled the familiar theme. Costner once again plays an unforgettable character and the performance by the small boy is also very good. The relationship between Costner and Phillip proves that even a convict can raise a child correctly if he knows how to handle a child properly. Costner treats the child with love and respect and this is something most of the parents can learn from this movie.
Eastwood also avoids too much focus on his own character and this is also one of the strong points of this movie. He deserves a lot more credit than he gets and this film once again proves that even a routine story can be made into a very nice movie if it is in the hands of an able director like Clint Eastwood.
