The gunfights are short, to the point and impactful. Jeff Bridges has a monopoly of all the quotable lines in this film, his one liners are witty and brutal at the same time – a mix only he can pull off with such ease. His ways are violent and show the dark side of the law and order upheld in the Wild West. He is plagued by alcoholism and is the anti-hero you would expect from a truly gritty western (pun intended). A US Marshall who’s best days are behind him and is now suffering from arthritis, coughing attacks and frequently being out of breath. They are joined by a Texas Ranger whose views of law and justice frequently collide with the US Marshall’s own views. The pair find themselves trekking across open plains and mountain passes in the search of the murderer. True Grit is a devilish tale of an aging ruthless US Marshall who is hired by a young girl to find and kill the man who murdered her father in cold blood. Who could take on a role which John Wayne mastered over 40 years ago? Well, Jeff Bridges, that’s who. True Grit (2010) Featuring the breakout performance by a young Hailee Steinfeld, True Grit tells the tale of a hardened bounty hunter tale with a highly intelligent and inquisitive young girl by his side.Ī remake of it’s predecessor in 1969, True Grit (2010) was a film most people were nervous about.
The films we have chosen I believe display this best – that it truly was a horrible time to be alive and that the people who were unlucky enough to exist in it were a blended mix of good and evil but all were tough as nails. In reality, these lines were far more blurred – things were not black and white but rather a much more grey area. The Wild West is a turbulent and chaotic part of America’s history often disguised under the idea of good cowboys vs bad outlaws or the rightful North versus the slaver South. For your flops think The Lone Ranger (2013) or The Magnificent Seven (2016), and for your successes you have Django Unchained (2012) and a surprisingly successful A Million Ways to Die in the West (2014).įor this list though, we have tried to look at what makes a truly good modern western and what tells a satisfactory tale about what life was like back all those years ago. What we have had since then are either huge flops or massive successes. Once idolised and the pinnacle of cinema in the 1960s and early 70s, Westerns faced a decline through the late 80s and 90s only to face a revival shortly after the early 2000s. The film has grossed US$31.1 million.The graveyard genre of movies, the Western.

To clear their names, they must work with the trio to track down the culprit of a series of bombings that have plagued an international hotel group.
