Synopsis of True Grit

14-year-old mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld) joins an aging U.S. marshal (Jeff Bridges) and another lawman (Matt Damon) in tracking her father's killer into hostile Indian territory in Joel and Ethan Coen's adaptation of Charles Portis' original novel. Sticking more closely to the source material than the 1969 feature adaptation starring Western icon John Wayne, the Coens' True Grit tells the story from the young girl's perspective, and re-teams the celebrated filmmaking duo with their No Country for Old Men producing partner Scott Rudin. Josh Brolin and Barry Pepper co-star. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi


The wife and I went to see this yesterday, One of the best movies I have seen this year :) I highly recommend this movie.

I read the other day that in one scene you can see a pick-up in the far background.

I will have to rent it and see if that is true.

Great movie. I loved the humor throughout by Bridges.

I have to rethink my no westerns policy after watching this last night. Though I thought the ending sucked, it was a very good movie.

I agree, the ending in the original was much better.

I have not seen this yet but my father, who is a diehard John Wayne fan, said this movie was almost better than the original. He did say the ending was not as good. I have seen the original so I would like to see this to compare.
