Official Synopsis

Mattie Ross, a 14-year-old girl, undertakes a quest to avenge her father’s death at the hands of a drifter named Tom Chaney. Ross persuades an alcoholic marshal named Rooster Cogburn to join her in tracking down Chaney.

What We Learned: You can never go wrong with simple revenge tales. We thought Josh Brolin would shy away from anything reminding of that Jonah Hex movie attempt last spring. Johnny Cash enhances any western movie experience.

Why We’ll Watch: This is how TRUE GRIT should have been done… is what we’d like to say. The sad truth is we’ve not seen John Wayne’s version of TRUE GRIT. The main reason to watch this is The Dude as Rooster Cogburn as directed by the Brothers Coen.
