Jeff Bridges, a normally reliable actor, is simply terrible in his. Ham-fisted and mumbling away, and that annoyingly precious girl got on my nerves. I must say that if going into the film if I didn't know who had directed it I would never have guessed it was them. Henry Hathaway, John Wayne & Kim Darby did it much better 30 years ago. Anyway terrible film, and an all-time low for the overrated Coen Brothers.

Young Hailee Steinfeld was brilliant as were the rest of the cast. The only issue I had with the acting (and it was so unnecessary) was Jeff Bridges' mumbling. I can absolutely understand why people were complaining about not understanding him. This aspect of the film was a little frustrating. However, this shouldn't detract from the overall movie as it was terrific. merissa : 11 Feb 2011 9:07:38pm ((True Grit))[[6]] Im a great fan of the Coen brothers but was disappointed that I missed half the dialogue because Bridges didnt seem to be able to open his mouth wide enough to actually speak! - so I can only give it
