A good old-fashioned Western that should please fans of the original and newcomers to True Grit. The cast is extremely strong, though for me, John Wayne will ALWAYS be Rooster Cogburn. That's not to say Jeff Bridges did a bad job, he was great, but some things can't be replaced. The standout, of course, is Hailee Steinfeld, who's in nearly every scene and holds her own against the Oscar winners and nominees. The climax is over pretty quickly and left me feeling a little unsatisfied (given the buildup) but overall, a good film.
