If you like westerns and you loved John Wayne back in the day, you will love this movie. Jeff Bridges did a wonderful job as the character of Rooster Cogburn hired to help a young girl revenge the death of her father. Other great actors under the fantastic direction of the Coen brothers are Matt Damon and Josh Brolin. A newcomer, Hailee Steinfeld was wonderful. Her freshness and grasp on the role of Mattie was refreshing and she fit right in with some very seasoned actors. The story is about a drunk Marshall (Bridges) and a sheriff (Damon) who helps Mattie and decides to come along reluctantly for the ride. Great acting, great story and the cinematography is great. Looking for a great feel good, humorous western then this is the movie to see.
