True Grit (2010) ***

True Grit is good, but not as good as everyone says, imo. I feel like I'm obligated to love this film because it's the Coens, stars Jeff Bridges, and it's a western. I do enjoy it (this was my second time watching it), but it's not a great western.

Honestly, it's not all that different from the 1969 film in many ways (much of the dialogue is identical), except for a few Coen-esque scenes. As far as modern westerns go, I enjoy The Proposition, 3:10 To YumaAppaloosa and The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford more.
