Step aside Kim Darby, Hailee Steinfeld owns the role of Mattie Ross. I'll take Jeff Bridges over John Wayne as Rooster Cogburn also. But then, I had a run in with John Wayne on a Wells Fargo Commercial shoot and think he was a drunken blowhard. I was fresh back from Vietnam and he thought that acting the part of a soldier was the same as being one.
You take a already decent story and add in dialog rewritten by the Cohen Brothers and a great western is reborn. Of course that means dark humor and more action than the original. This is worth leaving your home theater and seeing on the big screen. Josh Brolin and Matt Damon are great also. The usual fantastic cinematography from Roger Deakins adds a lot to the movie making this more interesting then the original.
My wife and daughter also loved it.
