Craig W. One of the few times where the remake might be better than the original Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/15/25 Full Review Nick R It's hard to say if its as good or better than the original. Both versions of the story have their strengths. The story is excellent either way. But for a modern update made in today's world, it's extremely well made and filled with great performances.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/09/25 Full Review Kevin P A gripping and very engaging remake of the John Wayne classic. Both versions of True Grit have their strengths, but this one is more nuanced with its story and grittier like the title implies. Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon are both great as the leading men. Rooster Cogburn is a truly unpredictable wildcard that shows emotional depth, but isn't afraid to be an opportunist. He's equally badass as he is pathetic as he clearly has been through a lot. La Boeuf is a great contrast with his by the book approach and insecure need for respect. But a young Hailee Steinfeld easily steaks the show with her amazing role as Mattie. Easily one of the best child performances I've ever seen. She has so much conviction and intensity that carries entire scenes but still feels believable and emotionally investing with her obsession with bringing her father's pathetic killer to justice. Which all ties into the movie's bittersweet ending about how vengeance at such a young age can consume you and skew your priorities so far that the rest of your life can feel hollow, bitter, untrustworthy, and lonely with your own unique set of battle scars. It's not as charismatic or uplifting as the original, but it's far more introspective and fascinating with its character studies. Topped off by some fantastic cinematography with great lighting and a sweeping epic soundtrack. Definitely one of the best remakes out there that arguably supersedes the original. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/02/25 Full Review Critic S Better than the John Wayne 1969 film version of the book, but, like the original, I still dislike the ending; the snake bite ruins what would have been a great ending.
