I enjoyed Tom Hanks romp through this saga , and I thought it suited him . Helena Zengel is a huge talent for one so young , and brought charisma to her role . I enjoyed the minimal style and the stark panorama of the movie . But I tired of the 'dangerous and violent desperadoes stalking the harmless' trope that generally has become the stock menu of the modern western . Still , I'm going to give it a warm 8 for the film's cinematography and good acting .
