"True Grit" - true cutting investigated Mattie Ross, because she is on the hunt for the murderer of her father. And as the otherwise very patente girl the authorities do not dare too much, it offers the Marshal Reuben "Rooster" Cogburn (Jeff Bridges), a thick reward in exchange for his guts to the said offender (very bad: Josh Brolin) to search.
Then there's the Texan LaBoeuf (Matt Damon), who also seeks the murderer, because, as with the murderers so that he has previously killed someone. Again, there is a reward, but in a different state.
The Coen brothers were with her latest works were nominated for ten Oscars, but not a single win. Too bad. However, they need not be quite so sad, her last Oscar-orgy "No country for old men" 's not that long ago.
plays in the first film adaptation of the John Wayne Westerns still the knotty, often drunken and trigger-Marshall, and Jeff Bridges has to hide behind no. The part to be taken literally swaying between alcoholism, self-righteousness and sense of duty appears in several scenes quite well. Around the moment when he decides to take it with Mattie on the hunt for the criminals.
Very nice Hailee Steinfeld also in the role of the 14-year-old Mattie, who is now declining, not a normal girl. Already in the first minutes of the movie talking to a horse dealer comes out, who here has the negotiations under control. And Mattie uses any hesitation from adult compared with immediately, they underestimated. What happens more often.
The film adheres largely to the novel, gets me to the end, but too-Hopp Oops, that was too quick for me. Especially compared to the rest of the novel adaptation that is beneficial still. Not to be confused with boring. Here is an almost classic Western, without modern hero, played by Kevin Costner otherwise happy. Populated with people as they existed at that time, not with people who have fantastic-modern ideas, and could now hold a motivational seminar, she would be beamed into one.
So yes do not like Oscars have been, a great movie is "True Grit" all. And like the Coen brothers make many more strips.
