True Grit

I saw this film with my friend Johnny at the Ritzy cinema in Brixton - where the seats in screen one are sagging a bit! It stars Jeff Bridges as a US Marshall on the trail of a dirty rotten murderer, at the behest of a 14 year old girl, whose father has been murdered. Jeff Bridges' accent is difficult to understand at times - it sounds like he has a sock stuffed in his mouth. However you get the general gist of things as he merrily waves his pistol in the air. The actress playing the 14 year old is very good - very confident and forthright. Matt Damon plays a Texas ranger who is also on the trail of the murderer. Although I enjoyed the film I didn't totally engage in it - maybe because westerns are not really my cup of tea.
