True Grit (Blu-ray/DVD, 2011, 2-Disc Set, Includes Digital Copy)

A fantastic remake.

Normally, I am not much for remaking classic films that probably don’t need to be redone in the first place. This is an exception. This movie is very faithful to the original in terms of plot and dialogue. The young actress who plays the character of Mattie Ross couldn’t be any better in this role. Her casting was a perfect choice, as was Jeff Bridges in the role of Rooster Cogburn. A very wry but nuanced performance from him. I’m not so sure about the casting of Matt Damon as LaBeoff, the bounty hunter. He’s a very capable actor, but I’m not sure this was the perfect vehicle for him. All of the other actors in the supporting roles are great, specifically the actor who portrays the gentleman who engages with Mattie about buying back her horses. That scene is hilarious,watching as that man slowly discovers that his negotiation skills are no match for this 14 year old girl. Very well played scene. Actually, even if you’ve never seen the original True Grit, and had no reference points from which to draw, there’s still not much to find wrong about this movie. It moves along at a brisk pace, has the right balance of drama, humor and pathos, and leaves you feeling like “Hey, that was really good”. And, if you buy one from EBay, and can get a new copy for cheap, you can’t go wrong with this one.Vollständige Rezension lesen

The main character was looking for someone who had 'true grit' in order to help her; she was, in fact, the one with true grit.

It's a great adventure story, to begin with. Haley Steinfeld is much better than Kim Darby was in the first movie. The direction is awesome! I love the hymn music and musical strains that tie everything together. I love the spoken language -- they do not use contractions. Thoroughly enjoyable, and good for family viewing.

Not bad for a remake on an american classic.

Not to big on remakes but, this one is pretty good.
I think John Wayne would like it.
