A nice western, the news was good and deep, it’s great to see tom hanks playing a Western role that he did a good job at and i think he’s played pretty much all movie genres now ha

As in "True Grit" (Henry Hathaway, 1969), the protagonist accompanies a girl on a journey through the dangerous Western. But Captain Kidd is not a drunkard like Marshal Rooster Cogburn, he is a man whose ethics make him strange amidst deception and violence. Like him, this film is low-key, calm, with some good action scenes but a general tone of irrelevance. It is a western as decent as it is not very remarkable.

A good story, well told. I think both Hanks and Costner have improved with age, primarily by choosing roles befitting their years instead of trying to be action heroes etc like some of their peers. “Let Him Go” the recent Costner film and this one see both playing their age, and turning in fine performances because of it, rather than in spite of it. Hanks has a list of classics to his credit, along with some stinkers, but if you can place The Green Mile, Road to Perdition, Saving Private Ryan amongst your credits, you’ve done well! This isn’t up there with those gems, but it’s a good solid performance in a watchable tale that does him credit.

Really beautifully shot film, with a few suspenseful moments, and lots of heart.

Great western. Hanks is very good as usual but young Helena Zengel steals the show in my opinion. Technically the film has stand out cinematography, sound and music. Enjoyed this one. Recommended.

This is a good, wholesome, old-fashioned western. It was a pleasure to watch and had a happy, satisfying ending.

How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!

Quite an obvious film from the beginning. It has some lovely shots and I liked the ending despite it's predictability. Liked the history of it and it's importance. Not a poor film by any stretch - it just held the viewer's hand a bit too much. The girl Helena Zengel is so brilliant, such a natural little smile - anyone who enjoyed her performance should seek out 'System Crasher' which was one of the best films of 2020.

5.9/10

Of all of the movies released recently, this has the widest appeal of them all. A nice movie for the whole family without being a family movie, you know what I mean?

Solid performance from the lead actors, authentic western setting, hints of suspense and with mystery to pull you into the characters supported with a heart felt ending. Good watch.

Although on the surface a rather simple, foreseeable and straightforward plot I enjoyed watching this. Little Helena plays really well alongside Hanks, she doesn't seem intimidated and they have good chemistry. I was tempted to give the movie an "8" but ultimately went for a "7".
[spoiler] I didn't like the parts where they are chased by those men which ultimately seemed only to be there to provide an obstacle for them to overcome. I thought there could have been some connection, maybe those men knowing the girl. Same goes for the scene where they meet the Indians or the part in the town. Those parts just came and went. [/spoiler]


It's not a spectacular movie by any means but it's honest entertainment.

It is also impressive as a Western. It is also impressive in terms of acting and sensuality..

Another great collaboration Paul Greengrass + Tom Hanks, in this case in a western movie, which I liked
