The original True Grit saw John Wayne win an Oscar for his performance. This film sees 'The Duke' help a little girl seek revenge on the person who killed her father. I have got the 2010 remake on my to watch list and to be honest I hope its better than this film. There is a fair amount to like in this film but for me the main problem is John Wayne. In a Wayne vs Eastwood battle, I reckon Clint would walk it.
The story is fairly good but it lacks a killer punch. I'm told that Wayne did better films and hopefully they will turn up because on this form I cant quite figure out how Wayne has reached the level of popularity that he has. Elsewhere in the film there was a nice performance from Dennis Hopper and Robert Duvall.
