Hey, a Tom Hanks movie and, waddayaknow... it's good!
After the Civil War, Captain Kidd is wandering the towns, reading the news ('cos reading is something a lot of people don't have time for).

To be perfectly honest, this plays out exactly how you expect it to. There isn't anything surprising here, and you can tell where all the beats are going to end. However... it's a well told story and damn if the movie didn't keep me entertained.

Worth the watching!
