I recently went to see the Coen brothers movie True Grit. My wife, having read the book, wanted see it, and I always like a good western.The movie, like the book, is told from the perspective of a 14 year old girl named Mattie Ross as she seeks out to avenge the death of her father. The setting is very believable and the characters are all distinctive. I particularly liked the manner in which the characters dialoged. Its hard to describe, but now that I'm reading the book, I am finding that the Coen brothers captured this perfectly. I found the acting very good. This is one of Jeff Bridge's over the top performances and Hailee Steinfeld was perfect as Mattie.
If you want to see a good adventure movie with unforgettable characters and stunning setting, go see True Grit.
