True Grit

Almost a perfect film, just has a couple things that I would tweak about it. I’ve been really interested in the Wild West days recently, so I hopped into this movie, after hearing some good things. Mattie was a really awesome character, and I loved seeing her outsmart all of the cast. She is also really cool in a western for someone at her age. La Boeuf was by far my favorite character. I loved seeing him and the marshal arguing throughout. The marshal had some great moments, but also some not so great moments which I’ll get into. The story of Mattie wanting revenge is classic, and pretty good. I liked the action throughout the movie also. The dialogue was also a positive. And I really dug the ending.  But, I didn’t like how they tried to drag in some comedic elements into the story. Also, the pace is pretty slow, and could be done better. Overall, a really good movie, that I’d recommend.
