I ain't seen a western 'fore I set my eyes on this 'un. I must say it had some real grit. Some "True Grit". Story is of a darn feisty young'un with the name of Mattie Ross. Her pa was shot and killed by Tom Chaney, a runaway with a mission of not gettin' caught. She hires a drunkard called Rooster to capture and come to see he being properly hanged. With the help of LaBoeuf, they go on a adventurous search fer this criminal. Jeff Bridges does a fine job as Rooster, as does Hailee Steinfeld in the role of Mattie. Only problem I found with this film was much of it was slower than molasses. It's not real easy to get thru at times. That being said, its not a bad movie and if you remain patient, I think you will come to enjoy it like I did.
