Well, first off, Tom Hanks is the star of the movie. So, yeah, acting is pretty top-notch as you would expect. Everyone is quite good in their roles, especially Tom Hanks. Outside of that, the movie is kinda mixed, but one thing it does very well is character development. We start the film with the girl, Johanna only being able to speak Kiowa, and Captain Kidd (Hanks' character) trying to speak to her with German and English. Getting near the end they're speaking a mix of Kiowa, German, and English to each other as they are learning from each other. Heck, even outside of language they learn from each other, such as Johanna teaching Kidd to use money inside of bullets to kill the kidnappers. The strength of the characters and character development is really what the movie relies on, because everything else is kinda meh. I honestly don't remember anything from the score (and film scores are something I pay attention to), I thought a few scenes went on too long, namely, the shootout, and honestly, that whole scene just felt out of place in the movie. Anyway, this movie is good, but not great. Still recommend though. It just depends on how much you care about character development in movies. If you really care, you'll probably like this movie. If not, stay away, this film isn't for you. That's pretty much all this film brings to the table.
