Drama, Dry Comedy
5 stars
Excellent movie, and I don’t even like Westerns! The real star is Hailee Steinfeld as a brainy 14 year old girl who hires a mean and nasty U.S. Marshal (Jeff Bridges) to hunt down and capture the man who killed her father (Josh Brolin in a too-short role as the bad guy). Along for the ride is Matt Damon as a Texas Ranger who also wants to capture Brolin. Thanks to the talented Coen Brothers’ screenplay and direction, the plain-spoken dialogue and wry humor are just right mix for a gritty, but amusing tale. I never saw the original John Wayne version, but Jim, who is a big John Wayne fan, liked the new version better. Excellent acting, excellent film, just go see it.

About Me
- Mary
- I love movies. I love the big screen in a darkened theater with a great sound system. I love the popcorn with the fake butter too! I go to the theater 2 or 3 times a week, depending on what movies are out. Luckily, my husband allows me to be a spoiled housewife who doesn't have to work anymore, so I can enjoy quiet matinees. Even with the not so great movies, I can usually find something I like about them. If you are the "hard to please" type, this page is probably not for you.
