“News Of The World” (*** out of four) was a delicately told historical melodrama about a Civil War veteran (Tom Hanks) who agrees to deliver a girl (Helena Zengel) to her aunt and uncle against her will but along the way they develop a closeness and bond that neither expected as they face grave dangers along the frontier and try to settle to a place they can call home. Not a great film and lags a little at times but Hanks’ usual dependable charisma, magnificent cinematography by Dariusz Wolski, and some effective moments (particularly towards the end) make it a worthwhile journey. A gentle change-of-pace from writer/director Paul Greengrass in making his first Western; this marks his and Hanks’ second collaboration after “Captain Phillips.”
