The unlikely trio find danger and surprises on the journey, and each has his or her 'grit' tested. They are joined by Texas Ranger LaBoeuf, who wants Chaney for his own purposes. Against his wishes, she joins him in his trek into the Indian Nations in search of Chaney. Mattie insists on accompanying Cogburn, whose drinking, sloth, and generally reprobate character do not augment her faith in him. marshal she can find, a man with 'true grit,' Reuben J. Overall a very enjoyable movie.Following the murder of her father by hired hand Tom Chaney, 14-year-old farm girl Mattie Ross sets out to capture the killer. The script and cinematography are also superb. I can't praise the casting enough, every one is ideal for their roles, and young Hailee is superb, worthy of the Oscar nomination. And the outlaw they seek is Josh Brolin as Tom Chaney, who has joined a gang led by Barry Pepper as Lucky Ned Pepper. Other main characters are Matt Damon as Texas Marshall LaBoeuf, who joins in the search in Arkansas. She was told that he has 'true grit' and that is the title reference. But Mattie's promise of $100, a fortune back then, gets Rooster on board. There she encounters an unwilling Jeff Bridges as drunkard Rooster Cogburn, who has the reputation for killing the outlaws to avoid the trouble of bringing them in. Mattie is an unusual 14-yr-old, not one for 'girlie' pursuits, and with an unusually high intellect, seemingly an expert in law, she takes off for the nearest town to find and hire a US Marshall who will bring the outlaw to justice. Mattie's dad is shot and killed by an outlaw, who also stole his horse and two California gold pieces. It is 1878 and lawlessness still pervades the west, as defined by Missouri, Arkansas, Texas, and New Mexico. Arguably the focus of this movie is young Hailee Steinfeld, 13 during filming, as 14-yr-old Mattie Ross. Two of my favorites are 'Fargo' and 'The Man Who Wasn't There.' Now I will add this one to my list. (Edit: I saw it and to me the 1969 original is a better movie, mostly for John Wayne and, although not authentic, the scenes in the Rocky mountains.) The Coen brothers are unique in that each of their movies seems to take a different look and a different tone. But I will now remedy that, it will be in my BD player soon. Sadly I am one of the very few movie fans that never got around to seeing the John Wayne movie.
