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.

One of those rare remakes that may not be better or worse than the original Classic, but is also itself a classic because it's just an extreamly well made retread. In particular Haylee Steinfeld's performance is sensational to watch.

There is a lot to appreciate in this film, most especially the performances from Hailee Steinfeld and Jeff Bridges. The characters are very endearing and the story entertaining =)

Totally excellent, better than I expected.
