True Grit

Managed to finally get in to see it earlier today. I can pretty much count the number of good westerns on one hand, and I will add this one to the list.

But, it's not that great of a movie over all. I seem to remember the brothers making better movies than this. This one seems to hinge on two parts. A strong female character, who seems to be strong for no other reason than her big words, and bold actions in a time period that would not be typical of such for a female. And two, the movie seems to be based around several 'Set Pieces' with little character or plot development in between.

Now, that's all fine and dandy for an action movie or adventure movie. But I have come to expect a little more from them.

So, over all it's a good movie. But not as great as I expected. Tombstone was better.

May as well go see it, not much else out right now. Definite rental though.

3 out of 5 stars



And for Tombstone for good measure..
