I just came back from seeing True Grit and it was very good. Jeff Bridges is great. Matt Damon is bad. The girl who played Mattie steals the show. I think she was fantastic.
The story is as solid now as it was when John Wayne did it. The dialogue, scenery and overall feel of the movie was excellent.
I’d give it an 9/10 but Matt Damon brings it down a peg. 8/10

Has any read the book by Charles Portis? Is the LaBeouf character lame in it too? You’d think, given that Campbell was the weak link in the original, they’d be extra careful with the casting in the remake unless the character is intentionally lame.
