SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.
Aedonerre I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
cricketbat True Grit is well-written, well-acted and well-executed. The Coen Brothers have created an old-fashioned Western that feels fresh and relevant. Every actor, including the supporting cast, does an amazing job of making the film feel authentic. It's a simple story, but it's a very memorable movie.
kerimakdogankp First of all, I want to point that I love Hailee Steinfeld and amongst the ones that I watched, this is her best job. We should talk more about the acting, when it comes to this particular movie. Cause what I think is, storyline stays in the background and acting, hairstyle and makeup shines, but the big credit goes to the acting, Especially Jeff Bridges performance. And again, especially drunk Jeff Bridges, what an act! Lets talk about the storyline. I think there is no special thing in the storyline, even though we can consider that this storyline is one of the classics and it never gets old, and its old. Also, there is a few humor in the movie which really enjoyed it. I also want to point another thing, I am not a big fan of western movies. I just watch the good ones and this is for sure upon that list. Despite a few bad sides of the movie, such as weak storyline and weak "gun shots" if u decided to watch it "it would be alright".
StrayCat1000 Hi, I vaguely remember the original(?) True Grit movie from the 70s with John Wayne and the crazy parody in Mad Magazine. You guys should google the latter - it was pretty hilarious in its time :) True Grit 2010 was on my Watchlist for a long time but I never got around to watching it until recently. I am amazingly surprised!! Also, I was barely familiar with Hailee Steinfeld and from the start I kept wondering "who in the heck is this SOLID, young, actress?!?".True Grit 2010 is highly entertaining for many different reasons, it has an interesting plot & story & information about the old, wild west, includes some formal dialogue, great scenery, violence, and there's NO SEXUALITY REQUIRED which is RARE for Hollywood these days. The movie is ALSO entertainingly & wittingly FUNNY for a NON-comedy and often makes you "LOL" -- I LOVE THIS PART‼:)Within the first few scenes Hailee's (and others') acting reels you in, hook, line, & sinker, you immediately sense "OK this is a high quality production", and then you stay engaged & entertained for the remainder of the movie. Hailee also keeps up and on par with long term, distinguished actors like Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, and Josh Brolin. Trust me on this. The character of Mattie Ross encompasses a pivotal role, of course, and is responsible for "carrying" the movie from start to finish.Afterwards I did some research and it turns out they auditioned around 15,000 actresses to play the character of Mattie Ross and Hailee herself had to audition around 1/2 dozen times. After all that they certainly selected the PERFECT actress for the part‼Way to go Hailee ~ it's awesome that from such a young age you discovered your true calling and NOW the world's your oyster! You're very well suited for "unique" roles, and movies from DIFFERENT ERAs, especially the past. Try to get roles from different and interesting genres, but ALWAYS MAKE SURE the screenplay is outstanding, the writing & production teams are extremely professional & first class, and team up with co-stars that are talented & distinguished actors. AVOID crappy plots, stories, and futuristic parts. You're gonna have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame before you know it :)Good Job Folks‼ Do you know which other movies Hailee Steinfeld gives a similar solid performance? If yes, please message them to me. THANKS‼
zaremskya-23761 Hands down the worst thing I've seen by the C Bros, to the point I wondered if someone else was behind the camera. The story is generic, the characters are painfully annoying and overdone. The dialogue is campy. It's just not very good. Bad film. Bad script. Etc...I disliked the film the whole time I was watching it, especially the young actress playing the "spunky" female protagonist. She was particularly insufferable to listen to and watch. She overacted all her lines.There is some cool action sequences but other than that there is nothing worth viewing here. You can't enjoy a film just because it's a western and just because it's by the Coen Brothers. That won't cut it with me. It has to actually be good, and this isn't.Please avoid.
