True Grit (2010)

110 min, adventure, drama, western

Director: Ethan Coen, Joel Coen
Writers: Ethan Coen, Joel Coen
Stars: Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, Hailee Steinfeld

Storyline:
Following the murder of her father by hired hand Tom Chaney, 14-year-old farm girl Mattie Ross sets out to capture the killer. To aid her, she hires the toughest U.S. marshal she can find, a man with "true grit," Reuben J. "Rooster" Cogburn. Mattie insists on accompanying Cogburn, whose drinking, sloth, and generally reprobate character do not augment her faith in him. Against his wishes, she joins him in his trek into the Indian Nations in search of Chaney. They are joined by Texas Ranger LaBoeuf, who wants Chaney for his own purposes. The unlikely trio find danger and surprises on the journey, and each has his or her "grit" tested

Review:
I was so bored during this film that I feel a sleep near the end. I don't care how authentic it was (the costumes, the buildings, the interiors and the dialogue), I didn't make it to the end. What I liked was the performances of Jeff Bridges and, especially, the young Hailee Steinfeld. But that wasn't enough to keep me awake till the end of the movie.

Rating: 4,5/10
