Most enjoyable western which is in itself a homage to the genre, Subtle nods to "The Searchers", and many of the great Westerns abound, without getting on the road of the story. Tom Hanks has become the modern day Henry Fonda. No other American male lead can portray decency and conflicted dignity quite like him. Some may think the film drags in parts, but for me it is - like its characters - feeling its way, Not one scene too many or too few.
