Steph... This is a very good movie! Jeff Bridges is amazing as always. His portal as a drunk Marshall trying to help a girl avenge her fathers death was gritty, real, and at times funny. New comer Hailee Steinfeld is wonderful as Maddy, a 14 year old girl who will stop at nothing to catch Tom Chaney her father's murderer. Matt Damon was ok as a Texas Ranger also on the hunt for Chaney but he seemed out of place. I think I would have liked his character more if it had been striped down a little. He just seemed over the top and at times cartoonish. Josh Brolin was ok as Tom Chaney; he wasn't really in the movie all that much though. All and all a great movie and a must see. Make time to watch True Grit! :)
Kris.... Awesome movie. Westerns are rare and a good western is even rarer. Steph nailed it when it comes to performances. Although i would also like to point out Barry Pepper. I thought he was very good in this one. All in all this is a must see if your over the age of 18. It was the right combination of funny and dramatic. This is another hit for the Coen brothers. Their forth in a row. After No country for old men(2007) and Burn after reading(2008) and A Serious Man(2009). Cant wait to see their next movie.
