An aging drunken marshal is hired to bring a murderer to justice. Another good western done in the 'new style' where there are no quick draws and clean kills are few and far between. This is a rehash of a John Wayne classic True Grit (1969) and while I don't think older John Wayne fans will like this movie (its a little bloodier and more graphic than the original), younger western movie fans will have much to appreciate. The basic plot and storyline is the same and some of the more memorable dialogue stays in place, especially in the final showdown.
If you have enjoyed the direction western movies have taken over the last decade or so there is no reason to believe you won't enjoy this one as well. Bacon and cornbread cowboy style!
