It’s a known fact: Tom Hanks, the thespian par excellence, has had a few lackluster performances.

Elvis (2022)
The King of Rock and Roll deserves better than a film biopic.
Fairly light for Spielberg, yet immensely entertaining as both a yarn and a character portrait. Hanks is the reason I watched it, but it’s really Leo’s movie, and it remains one of his best performances. Snappy and fun with just enough pathos. (I don’t care how true or false any of the claims are; they make a terrific film story.)
