True Grit: Slow winner

Westerns aren’t my strong suite, basically because I find them anti-climactic after a drawn out showdown of some sorts; the outcomes are fairly straight-forward (someone gets shot—get on with it!)  While this story also follows a similar pattern and could have been 20 minutes shorter, the story is good and amplified with snappy banter and terrific acting. It was surprisingly funny, less violent than a typical Cohen film, and cohesively entertaining. I often miss the point on most Cohen films (Fargo, No Country for Old Men—not favorites of mine), but this one was right on target.
Verdict: Pay the full price (Worthy investment)
