I know, many of you can't bear the idea of somebody, anybody, taking on a role once played by John Wayne. I too was skeptical as I am a devoted Duke fan.However, I'm also a great fan of Jeff Bridges and the Coen Brothers.And, I can tell you this: The Dude does The Duke proud.This is certainly the best Western since Unforgiven and probably in the top 10 ever. Yes, it's far better than the original in every respect.Acting, dialogue, mood and photography come together to be the best movie the Coen Brothers have made.It's not a story about vengeance....
