True Grit

Clever, well-written dialogue highlights this gritty, entertaining, Coen brother remake of the 1969 John Wayne western in which a sassy, smart, spirited, doggedly determined, 14-year-old Arkansas farm girl (Hailee Steinfeld) hires a crusty, one-eyed, hard-drinking, one-eyed U.S. marshal (Jeff Bridges) in 1878 to track down her father's killer (Josh Brolin) before a proud, but slight dimwitted Texas Ranger (Matt Damon) can locate him.
