A tough U.S. Marshal helps a stubborn young woman track down her father's murderer.
True Grit is a 2010 American Western film written and directed by the Coen brothers.
It is the second adaptation of Charles Portis' 1968 novel of the same name, which was
previously adapted for film in 1969 starring John Wayne. The film stars Hailee Steinfeld
as Mattie Ross, and Jeff Bridges as U.S. Marshal Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn along with
Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, and Barry Pepper.
I went to see it last night and I really enjoyed it, although I'm sure many young people will find it boring at some points due to not enough action scenes, I thought it was an extremly enjoyable watch. I cant really compare it to the original as I haven't seen it, although I'm interested to watch it now.
Anyone else seen it? and what is your opinion of it?
