True Grit: Double Play (2 Discs) (2010) (Blu-ray)

This other reviewer doesn't know what he's talking about, this movie is another slick, sharp coen brothers classic, perfect in pretty much every way, get it!!!

This film just re-enforces the believe that just because you can doesent mean you should.

Agree with hombre , colmcille has no idea what he is talking about! This film is brill complete class! Im not a huge western fan but the quality of the acting in this film really is spot on they act the rolls perfectly!

A magnificent Western which is also not a remake of the John Wayne 1969 film, but a re-adaption of the original novel by Charles Portis - one which also sticks much more faithfully to the book than the previous film did.

The story is simplicity itself - 14 year old Mattie Ross (an astounding debut by Hailee Steinfeld who should have won the Oscar she was nominated for) takes it upon herself to hire the gruff Rooster Coogburn (the excellent as ever Jeff Bridges) to help her track down and take revenge on the man who murdered her father.

Expertly directed by the Coen brothers this is a truely wonderful piece of cinema, one of those shining examples where everything comes together in virtual perfection. From the photography by Roger Deakins, score, production design, the performances across the board and the direction this is already one of my favourite films of the year and I'll have no hesitation in buying it as soon as it gets released.

Don't get bogged down in the fact there's already a film version out there, take this for what it is - a completely respectful and brilliant new adaption.

The Coen Brothers and Jeff Bridges team up again to give another Brilliant Movie after the All Time Classic that is The Big Lebowski.
True Grit is a traditional Western like they use to make, with this movie they not tried to make it modern or anything of the sort.
They have just presented a very good story, with excellent Direction, First Rate Performance and Stunning Cinematography.
And that is the main appeal to the movie, alongside the performances on display.
The Oscar nominated Jeff Bridges as the gruff mumbling Rooster adds another memorable performance to his array of quirky performances.
He is followed in hot pursuit by the also Oscar Nominated Haillee Steinfeild who gives quite a Remarkable performance as the Protagonist of the movie, her dialogue delivery is like machine gun fire. Matt Damon lends some comic support as the Dufus like Sheriff with a very high opinion of himself.
Only downside is that Josh Brolin is a little wasted in this movie.
So anyway an Excellent Western, and a Top Movie to watch and Enjoy if you're not even into your Westerns
