I consider myself familiar with Jeff Bridges' work as an actor, but "True Grit" proved to me that he's a much better actor than I ever gave him credit for. True Grit is a "different version" of the movie that is based on the book and not a remake of the original movie starring John Wayne. A 14 year old girl approaches Rooster Cogburn (Bridges) about bringing Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin) to justice for killing her father. With the help of LaBoeuf (Matt Damon) the trio embark on the hunt that ends in the only way that The Coen Brothers could see fit. Josh Brolin once again proves his worth as does Matt Damon who even has the Texan accent down perfectly. As for Hailee Steinfeld she was perfect as well and I hope to see her in more films in the future. The casting in this film was supreme as well. The movie will be considered another Coen Classic in my opinion and as for the ending, well it ended in the typical Coen fashion, that there isn't such a thing as a perfect ending. I give it 4 and a Half out of 5, it came close to a 5.
