Bootleg of "True Grit" w/Jeff Bridges

Waaaaaaaaaaay too many lines repeated verbatim from the original. Nobody repeats The Duke. Not even The Dude.

IMHO Barry Pepper as Lucky Ned Pepper was the best performance in the film.

The entire piece struck me several times as a showcase for Hailee Steinfeld, who was just okay.

A couple scenes not in the original, a couple scenes omitted from the original...

A solid 7.9 IF you can avoid the comparisons to the original. Not easy.

ETA: Oh, the voices in this movie...comically over the top. Very out of place, especially Josh Brolin. It's almost like they were fooling around between takes, and then they printed the outtakes instead of the good takes. Very detracting from the film. These dialog coaches should never work again.
