Um þessa kvikmynd

True Grit is a powerful story of vengeance and valor set in an unforgiving and unpredictable frontier where justice is simple and mercy is rare. Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld), is determined to avenge her father's blood by capturing Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin), the man who shot and killed him for two pieces of gold. Just fourteen, she enlists the help of Rooster Cogburn (Academy Award Winner Jeff Bridges), a one-eyed, trigger-happy U.S. Marshall with an affinity for drinking and hardened Texas Ranger LaBoeuf (Academy Award Winner Matt Damon) to track the fleeing Chaney. Despite their differences, their ruthless determination leads them on a perilous adventure that can only have one outcome: retribution.

Einkunnir og umsagnir

The original is one of my favourite films but I think this one is slightly better and closer to the book, a great story and real character association, is it Maddy or Rooster who has true grit?

Great movie. Wasn't sure if I was going to like it but enthralled to the end. Very good.

Classic western good storyline and John Wayne at his best. . (Should have given 5stars)
