Very legendary story, kidnappers and hostages, the common background of lack of father's love, different from films like Tokyo Story, this film does not have strong social meaning and thinking, its ambition is only to tell a legendary story, A murderer who is not understood by the world, Kevin Costner's acting skills are amazing, the vicissitudes of his role are pitiful, and the performance of the little boy is also very good. All in all, this is a good movie, a good one. The story, neither good nor bad, the story of an adult man who is abandoned by the world and lacks the love of his father and a little boy who lacks his father's repressed desires, that's all, that's enough.

The mother kidnapped the child in the name of love, but the criminal liberated the child in the name of kidnapping. I felt a little bit sour after watching it at night~

7/10. The problem is that the police chase did not create enough thrills for the escape. The director and the female inspector understood the childhood trauma of the fugitives, but they could not do anything for the two male protagonists except for candy, and they were almost outsiders. The climax should have erupted in a black farmhouse. The desire for fatherly love has become a complex emotional force entangled in Butch. He is too sensitive to the master's behavior of beating and scolding children and resorts to terrible violence, which is a concentrated depiction of both good and evil in his heart.

Chief Red Garnett: I like the governor. He and I go quail huntin', at least once a year. But he knows - and I know - that win, lose or draw, this is my ship. You understand that?
Sally Gerber: Oh, yeah - I got that. You know what that is? That's anarchy. And I call that horseshit, to use a cowboy colloquialism.
Chief Red Garnett: No, I'll tell you what's horseshit, missy. Horseshit is responsibility. That's the guy who has the sleepless nights; that's the guy who has the ulcers. If this thing goes bloody - and it just might - the governor, he loses a few votes. Me? I'm the one who... I'll tell you what: You see me makin' a wrong move, you go ahead and speak up. I might not agree with ya, but I'll listen. As for steppin' on people's toes and wounded pride, I'll buy all the drinks when this is over. But right now, I got better things to think about. That fair?

Phillip Perry: Are you gonna shoot me?
Butch Haynes: No - no, no. Me and you are friends... If I was choosin' a runnin' buddy, I'd take you over him any day of the week.
