True Grit is an American Western film and is directed by the Coen brothers. This movie stars, Hailee Steinfeld, Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin. Paramount pictures released the film, December 22nd, 2010.
Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld) is a fourteen year old girl. Her father has just been murderd by one of his hired hands. His name is Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin). She sets out on a "mission", which is to find Chaney and kill him for killing her father. To help her, she hires U.S. Marshal Cogburn (Jeff Bridges). Texas Ranger LaBoeuf (Matt Damon) decides to team up with Cogburn because he knows Chaneys hideout. Along their journey, Mattie comes across Chaney while fetching water by a nearby stream. Mattie shoots him, but he survives and brings her back to their hideout. Later on, Mattie manages to get her hands on a LaBoeuf's rifle and shoots Chaney. Does he survive or is he dead? You'll just have to watch the movie to find out! :)
The actors and actresses are very believable in the movie. They all played their roles very well. Hailee Steinfeld played her role as Mattie Ross really well. Hailee had to play a very strong female role in the movie and she did really well, she was a character that really catches your attention. I think she should win an award for best acting in the movie. The costumes were very well done and matched each characters personality.
I would recommend this film to people who really enjoy the Western genre. I personally do not like Westerns, but I really enjoyed this movie because it had a suspenseful plot and I was always wondering what was going to happen next and if she was going to achieve her goal of killing Chaney.
