Review of True Grit (2010) by Kevin O — 26 May 2013
Not haveing seen the original, I went in with no preconcieved notions. While I don't know if this is the best Coen brothers movie, it is one of the best Westerns ever and the best movie I've seen this year.
The performances are all top notch with particular notice to newcomer Hailee Steinfeld. Matt Damon gives one of his best performances and Jeff Bridges continues his hot streak although I kept thinking he took inspiration for his Rooster Cogburn speach pattern from Karl in Slingblade.
Normally this isnt the type of movie I would suggest that people have to see in a theater, but the visuals are just perfect from the opening scene until the end.
