Hits
- Jeff Bridges. With his great voice and a single eye, he literally lives the role.
- Hailee Steinfeld as the fearless girl seeking revenge is impressive too. She has a way with her words.
- Matt Damon. His getup as the Texas ranger is different and his role is good.
- Good BGM
- Nice locations that remind us of the great westerns of yesteryears.
- Some good gun fights add to the cinematic experience.
VERDICT
Different take on a typical retribution story. A young girl & 2 rough and tough men all having TRUE GRIT in common.
