    Weak story line. Jeff Bridges is a wonderful actor and did a superb job once again!

    Lailee Steinfeld's performance is right on the mark & somehow she manages to outshine even the great Jeff Bridges. She's amazing and deserves to be Best Actress Oscar nominated and not in the Best Supporting Actress category. Leave it to the Coen Brothers to turn hottie Jeff Bridges into a big shlub; Matt Damon & Josh Brolin didn't fare very well either. Good acting from everyone; my friend saw the first True Grit and told me this latest one was quite different. Read that this version was much closer to the book. Movie was O.K. & I would actually rate it as 3.5. Maybe just not my cuppa tea. Hated to see Jeff Bridges look so bad!

    Hailee Steinfeld stole the show in this film - a little slow but the cinematography was breathtaking.

    Great movie. Jeff Bridges plays John Wayne's role well. If you haven't seen this movie yet, you must run to the theater and see it now.

    I LOVED THE ORIGINAL MOVIE! THIS VERSION WAS CLOSER TO THE BOOK (EARNED FULL MARKS)I FOUND THAT BRIDGES' ATTEMPT AT GROWL IN VOICE AND ACCENT MADE HIM HARD TO UNDERSTAND AT TIMES. BUT OVERALL GOOD PERFORMANCES FROM ALL INVOLVED.

    I thought it was a good movie, but I prefer the John Wayne version.
