Five years after the Civil War’s end, Captain Jefferson Kyle Kidd travels around Texas dispersing the most recent news. After giving a news reading in one area, he crosses paths with a 10 year old girl who was taken by the Kiowa people. Captain Kidd offers to take her to an aunt and uncle who live across Texas. However, the long journey across the unforgiving plains turns into a fight for survival as they face danger at every turn, both human and natural.
Such a good movie. I loved almost everything about it. Very original concept and probably one of the best movies I’ve seen to come out of 2020. Tom Hanks is one of my favorite actors and this just proves that point. He becomes completely synchronized with his character in whatever movie he’s in, and that doesn’t exclude this role of Captain Kidd. Helena Zengel is a 13 year old German actress who is just getting into big production movies. She’s a good little actress with some real talent. I couldn’t believe that she was an actress and not her character in real life, she was so convincing. In fact the whole movie was just so realistic. The camera shots were gorgeous, showing the what the Texas landscape might have looked like. The scenes here were done really well. Paul Greengrass directed this and he also did the Bourne movies, so he knows what he’s doing. The ending also is unexpected, which provided for a nice twist with a happy ending as a result. The only thing I didn’t like about this movie was a bit too much exposition in the first act. Overall almost perfect movie, just a little slow early on but the rest makes up for it.
