True Grit - Good Story And A Beautifully Shot Movie...Worth A Watch

When I heard this was a Coen Brothers movie I wasn't really sure what to expect from this as a subject being western you cannot really digest a dark comedy like atmosphere going with it and whatever movies I have watched of these two brilliant directors are dark comedies and fantastic ones at that like 'Burn After Reading' and rom-com 'Intolerable Cruelty' but yes didn't like their 'No Country For Old Men' one bit.

This is a remake but I have not seen the original so my opinion is completely non biased and without any scope of comparison with the original.

Must say they have a come up with a great western film reminds you of the good old western movies and the movies is beautifully shot and brilliant dialogues and fantastic performances.

Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn is just awesome he deserve every inch of the Oscar Nomination he is nominated. The surprise element was the fourteen year old actress Hailee Steinfeld she was amazing and stood up to the performances of the able actors like Jeff Bridges,Matt Damon and Josh Brolin.

The movie really takes you back to those time so full marks to the art direction here I sincerely feel when a movie can take you back to that era the whole credit should go to the art directors for giving you that kind of feel and experience.

Truly a movie with loads of grit and worth a watch for sure.
