Review of True Grit (2010) by Mckillustrator — 23 Dec 2010
Unfortunately this movie falls short of being worthwhile. Perhaps my expectations were too high--though how could they be "too high" with Bridges, the Coens, and the western genre--but True Grit felt bland and uninspiring.
It certainly wasn't a bad film but I felt no tingling sensation of mental excitement that I get after movies I really enjoyed like after that first watching of No Country, for instance. The best moments of True Grit are few and far between.
Ultimately despite the fact that this film is well shot and (generally) well acted, I left the theatre disappointed. I'm still trying to figure out what or who is to blame for that feeling...
