Clearly recognizing a kindred spirit in novelist Charles Portis, sharing his love for eccentric characters and odd language, the Coen brothers worked hard, and successfully, at serving the buoyant novel as well as being true to their own black comic brio. Starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and vibrant newcomer Hailee Steinfeld.

True Grit
Opened December 22, 2010 | Runtime:2 hr. 8 min.
PG-13 Some intense sequences of western violence including disturbing images
A 14-year-old girl (Hailee Steinfeld) joins an aging U.S. marshal (Jeff Bridges) and another lawman (Matt Damon) in tracking her father's killer into hostile Indian territory in Joel and Ethan Coen's adaptation of Charles Portis' original novel. Sticking more closely to the source material than the 1969 feature adaptation starring Western icon John Wayne, the Coens' True Grit tells the story from the young girl's perspective, and re-teams the celebrated filmmaking duo with their No Country for Old Men screenwriting partner Scott Rudin. Josh Brolin co-stars.
