Mini-review: True Grit (2010)

His jaws dropped on hearing everyone using their ludicrous 'tough guy' accents.
True Grit (2010)
Director: Joel Coen & Ethan Coen
Starring: Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, Barry Pepper and Hailee Steinfeld.

Never have I felt so terribly UNDERWHELMED after seeing a Coens movie. True Grit is a film made by and starring supposedly masters in the art; Coens, Spielberg, Rudin, Bridges, Damon, Burtwell, Brolin and yet what we get is a mediocre film at best. True, that the technical aspects of the film were fantastic but that's a given considering it's a Coens film. Now that the film has received so many accolades and has earned around 250 mil. at the box office makes me wonder, whether the film would've been this successful if it had starred relatively unknown, indie actors instead of Bridges and Damon with no big names to back the movie. True Grit was a disappointment of epic proportions, to be very honest. Sad sad SAD!
