True Searchers

 

News of the World (2020)


Directed by Paul Greengrass this film based on the novel the same name stars Tom Hanks and Helena Zengel. A former Confederate army officer who makes his living reading the news transports a young girl raised by Native Americans back to her European family.


Mixing up elements of The Searchers and True Grit there is not much new to this western. Decently made with little to recommend it on its own merits this is a pretty average film. Even Tom Hanks and Paul Greengrass can not elevate this beyond the pedestrian.


3/5
