This movie was sinsational. I loved it. It was one of the best westerns of all time! It was much better than the original. The main character Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld) is a guttsy witty 14 year old with a lot of heart and loads of  courage. Her father was shot by a drunken outlaw named Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin). In an effort to avenge her late father she packes up and leaves home, She findes herself in town looking after her fathers funaral arangements. While their she makes it a point to get to know a local marshall named Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges) in an effort to hire him to track down and overtake her dads murder and bring him back. What he dosent recognize is this young womens determination to assist in the capture of this criminal. She also finds help in a Texas Ranger named LaBoeuf (played by Matt Damon!). Although sometimes quick to temper always quick to speak, He turns out to be both coragous and an excellent shot. Although this movie was exelent, it was rated PG-13 for good reason, it was very graphic with maney fighting sequences, the most grusom being when one partner chops two of the others fingers off. But it was still a great movie and I highly recomend it.
