my assessment of True Grit
Dec. 29th, 2010 04:06 pmFirst 1/2: Passable Coen Brothers movie. Amusing dialogue/situations, especially the court room scene.
Second 1/2: "Heroic," grandiose, overstretched, old-fashioned Western with all characterization down the pipes. Utterly not my thing (I don't like traditional Westerns... I didn't even like Tombstone), and not what I expect from the Coen Brothers.
I'm slightly disappointed that I spent money on it (esp. as I feel it's nothing like the heavy-bass trailers imply), but at least all the performances were good. And packed house at my theater, for a matinee showing! We almost couldn't find seats.
