Critics consensus

“News of the World takes a slow but absorbing ride down a comfortingly familiar Western trail, guided by Tom Hanks in peak paternal mode.”

A beautifully crafted, no frills adventure which often feels like an homage to Westerns of yore.

I found this a rewarding and entertaining drama, heavy with the weight of the past, yet buoyed up by the possibilities of the future.

Their journey packs in all the usual thrills of the genre - the shootouts and the ravenous jaws of nature - though Greengrass doesn't approach the material with the kineticism of Captain Phillips (also starring Hanks) or the Bourne films.

My biggest complaint is that the movie misfires too often and doesn't get interesting until the 56-minute mark.
