True Grit.

Graham and I saw this one today, in a 3/4 full Cineworld. Having seen the John Wayne version about 30 odd years ago, I honestly couldn't remember much of the plot.. apart from the iconic "one man vs four" show down..

Overall I really enjoyed it. Jeff Bridges does old, drunk, fat and haggard very well and there were some genuinely funny moments. Plus, as commonly acknowledged, the performance of the young girl was excellent.. This now means I going to have to watch the 1969 original again and compare the two (Graham's an avid John Wayne fan and swears by it..we'll see).
