Tom Hanks and Director Paul Greengrass have combined to create a truly moving and memorable western which is one of the best films of 2020. Hanks stars as Captain Kidd; a former Confederate Captain making his way in occupied Texas in the post-Civil-War era. Kidd travels from town to town reading various newspaper stories of interest to gathered locals who are too busy or unable to read the news and look forward to his lively interpretations of news of interest on a local and national level. …

The whole anti white male genre is a real boomer... but they need to stay away from Westerns... serio…

When he encounters Johanna (Helena Zengel), a 10-year-old girl taken and raised by the Kiowa, he agrees to return her to her remaining family. The journey that follows is beautif…
