Director : Ethan & Joel Coen
Running Time : 111 mins
Following the murder of her father, stubborn 14-year old Mattie Ross (Steinfeld) enlists the aid of Texas Ranger Rooster Cogburn (Bridges) to track down his killer. Unusually for Cogburn, young Mattie insists on accompanying him on the journey, wanting to see the face of the man who killed her father and see him confess before he dies.
Fans of Westerns will enjoy this remake of the 1969 John Wayne classic. Bridges is perfect as the drunken Cogburn, while Steinfeld’s angry young Mattie Ross resonates on the screen, stealing the thunder of many of the other actors involved. Her characters anger primarily drives the action in this slow paced revenge movie which sadly doesn’t have any of the humour of the original, but thanks to a sterling supporting cast the slow pacing and lack of humour is barely noticeable.
