True Grit


















The Dude takes over for the Duke in this remake of the John Wayne classic of the same name. The Coen brothers bring their usual razor sharp wit to this classic story about an old marshal who sets out to help a young girl find her father's killer. The performances are fantastic (especially by Bridges as the iconic Rooster Cogburn) and really sell the sometimes dizzying dialogue. This is a welcome foray into the style and feel of the classic westerns Hollywood used to make. The disappointingly brief ending is the only thing keeping this from "classic" status.
