True Grit (2010): A tough U.S. Marshal helps a stubborn young woman track down her father's murderer. (7.9)
Directors: Ethan Coen, Joel Coen
Writers: Joel Coen (screenplay), Ethan Coen (screenplay)
Stars: Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Hailee Steinfeld
A Western for the rest of us, yet, dialog, the scenes, props, etc are quite authentic. Hailee Steinfeld's delivery of the wonderful lines carries the movie. It is a simple enough story (in the tried and true western theme) but it has tests for each of the characters' grit. I'm thankful for the subtitles as the conversation is hard to follow at times (fast and some phrases are unusual). Good acting. My Rating: 7.5
