Something Creative About True Grit

When I went into True Grit I wasn't expecting too much. My friend dragged me to it and I figured that it was another western shoot 'em up. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The Coen brothers put together, what I thought, was a wonderful movie. It had all the aspects of a western I wanted but it was also touching and FUNNY. What surprised me was the performance of 14-year-old Hailee Steinfield. This teen successfully performed a very believable Mattie Ross. I give it two thumbs up.

  1. Although I was more excited to see True Grit then you were, I would probably go to see it after reading your review. Even though you weren't one of the people looking forward to the movie, it still delivered for you. Even if I hadn't seen the movie, I would believe that I could still enjoy it.

  2. One, you obviously didn’t know I was kidding and actually loved the movie and Jeff Bridges. Two, Hailee Steinfield was ok and three; I would probably see the film after reading your review. I’d see it mainly because you’re my friend and I value your opinion. However, I would be timid because you have been wrong before. The girl who was out of a guy’s league was a mistake!

  3. I liked your sentence "It had all the aspects of a western I wanted but it was also touching and FUNNY" because that made me interested in the movie but I would like to know more about the storyline before I would be totally convinced.
