A cowboy and Old West historian grades 2010’s True Grit for its realism, particularly when it comes to the film’s depiction of outlaws. Directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, the Western film, which serves as an adaptation of a 1968 novel by Charles Portis, chronicles the story of Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld) and her quest for revenge after the murder of her father. The Coens’ True Grit features an impressive cast of actors, with Jeff Bridges starring as U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn, Matt Damon as LaBoeuf, and Josh Brolin as Tom Chaney.
