Review of True Grit

True Grit (2010)
7/10
Storytelling and nothing more
28 December 2010
One of the most misleading movies of the year. I had been waiting to see this movie once i saw the initial trailers which make you think this movie is actually about grit which it is not....at all. If you want to see a "classic western" talk fest then shell out your 13 bucks because there are about 2 scenes of actual "action." I could even sit still in my chair because I was so angry at what I was seeing. I am a Coen brothers fan and expected something worth my money. I told my entire family to come see this move the day after Christmas and they all fell asleep. Should have seen Black Swan but instead I looked like a complete idiot after the credits scrolled. Ending was also terrible...The most boring movie I have ever paid for (I saw the Good Shepard in theaters). Great acting cannot redeem a plot full of stories that have no basis in the arc of the movie, scenes so unnecessarily wrong I thought they were joking. Truly disappointing and actually quite frustrating to sit through. Critics can call this whatever they want, most people are going to despise this movie because its not what they thought it would be.
