True Grit – Steelbook Edition
After an outlaw named Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin) murders her father, feisty 14-year-old farm girl Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld) hires Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges), a boozy, trigger-happy lawman, to help her find Chaney and avenge her father. The bickering duo are not alone in their quest, for a Texas Ranger named LaBoeuf (Matt Damon) is also tracking Chaney for reasons of his own. Together the unlikely trio ventures into hostile territory to dispense some Old West justice.
Critic Reviews:
- " I thought the film was excellent… [But] Don't skimp on the development of female characters just because the complexities are difficult to represent. We're going to notice. " – Katherine Don
- " Henry Hathaway's 1969 adaptation was highly faithful… The Coens' movie is less faithful than Hathaway's but stronger – the production, by their regular team, is formally superb – and weirder. " – Ben Walters
- " With his leisurely growl, somewhere between trail-grizzled and post-nap, Bridges sounds as if he's talking through his collar, in a vocal performance that's entertaining no matter what he's saying. " – Nicolas Rapold
