Review from the comment
There are many great performances in True Grit. Jeff Bridges plays the obnoxious marshall Rooster Cogburn with such efficiency that it is easy to see why some are arguing that he gives a better performance than John Wayne did in the original. Matt Damon and Josh Brolin are also excellent in their supporting roles; Damon as the know it all Texas Ranger LaBoeuf eager to show up Cogburn, and Brolin as the fiery killer that Cogburn and LaBouef are hunting. But it is Hailee Steinfeld that highlights the show in her first starring role as the audacious Mattie Ross. Steinfeld steals scenes in which she volleys back and forth with these and other veterans alike with a sharp tongue usually not seen until later in an actor’s career. The story is a classic revenge tale with colorful characters on all sides and the Coen brothers deliver more wit to a script that was already crafty and wry.
