True Grit (2010)

Chalk this one up as a win for the Coen Brothers. A classic western tale retold through a dark, funny, gritty lens. The acting is brilliant across the board. Terrific job casting. I loved the quick witted dialogue of the young heroine. Bridges is a wonder to behold. Equal to, if not better than his washed up country singer role last Oscar season. I wasn't overwhelmed by the slow ending, but everything leading up to that was excellent.

Rating: B+

Thought it was excellent as well, yet thought the ending was a little "um..okay...i guess it's over". Loved the little girl, thought she played her role fantastically.
