True Grit is a remake of the film that won John Wayne his only Oscar. The story is that after her father is shot down by a man named Tom Chaney (Brolin), Mattie Ross (Steinfield) hires the Marchall Rooster Cogburn (Bridges!) to hunt him down. They are joined by a Texas ranger named LaBouf (Damon) and find out that Chaney is part of a gang run by Ned Pepper (Pepper). Together they trsck down Chaney and Mattie tries to avenge her father.
A lot of the story and dialogue is exactly the same to the 1969 version apart from the end which surprises you if you have seen the original. If i compare this film to the other western i can remember seeing all the way through - Once Upon A Time In The West- It does not come close but it is still an enjoyable and sometimes funny film.
****Good
