adamsutter This film is not bad. But it isn't great either. The Bad - It is particularly boring at times when the two main characters are conversing whilst slowly moving along their journey. The cinematography is nothing to admire. But worst of all is the film's antagonists, if you can call them that. They don't serve their purpose as our heroes' main rivals, the only purpose they serve is being a device that brings our heroes together. We here about them throughout the entire film, the terrible crimes and killings committed. Boy-oh-boy these people sound menacing, I feel scared for our dear heroes as they creep ever so closer to finding these treacherous scoundrels, but I bet it's gonna result in a mind blowing conclus...wa...what...they're dead? That's it? We see them for less than 10 mins and they're all dead? That sucks. They were kinda pointless huh. And it wasn't even a satisfying death for the antagonist, I never hated him, I had no reason to, I had barely seen him. No stunning fight we were teased about happening for the last hour and a half. Just the few bullets shot and hey presto the bad guys are dead. This film also falls more under the romance genre whilst not really having any romance in it. The relationship between the main characters isn't that convincing, I never became truly invested in their friendship, they were usually quite disjointed, so I never felt sad at the end. Lastly the plot is quite bland and boring, yes this is a remake that was based off a book, but still on its own the plot just doesn't stand out. So I hear ya, why am I giving it a 6 when I've done nothing but talk shit about it, let me tell ya.The Good - The acting is pretty much masterclass. Everyone acting just nails it. An Oscar or two should have been won by these actors/actresses. Also the costumes and makeup are spot on, it all looked quite convincing. The music is good, but not amazing. And lastly the action is quite cool. But as far as anything good goes, that's about it.All in all, average film that could have been something more if it wasn't for a lacklustre plot with just as bad antagonists. I advise you do watch it if you haven't seen it, but don't expect much.
larz928 Terrible. People didn't speak like that in the late 19th Century. I have early recordings from around the turn of the century, and except for an Eastern accent, people actually spoke in contractions just like we do today! They wouldn't be that hard to understand. Some dialog coach decided that every word should be spoken without contractions in a robotic manner. I tried to keep it out of my mind, but the delivery of almost every actor was so stilted that I couldn't continue after 20 minutes of "See Dick run. Run, run, run. See Jane. See Jane run. See Spot run, run run run." It ruined the movie for me. I don't care what happened in it. I deleted it from my queue.
OneEightNine Media True grit An interesting and well-acted film. The director frankly hurts the film in many ways such as by using bad camera angles and giving every character in the film more or less the same tone in dialogue. I remember the hype behind this film when it first came out. Far from being a classic considering it has not stood the test of time.
Harrison Tweed (Top Dawg) I loved everything about this film! I'm not a huge fan of Westerns, but the all star cast is what attracted me to this film. But it was Hailee Steinfeld's performance that won me over! Don't get me wrong, Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon and Josh Brolin were all stellar in their performances, but Hailee stole the show. Directing, writing, editing and cinematography were all outstanding. If you have not seen this gem, do so and you will be glad you did! It's a well deserved 9/10 from me!
