As a fan of the 1969 version starring John Wayne, Robert Duvall and Dennis Hopper, I had doubts. I've concluded that the deal is: it's a gem of a western that folks should see in whatever format. Bridges plays his very own Rooster Cogburn - rather than playing the Duke. The rest of the cast is wonderful, from Matt Damon as LeBouf the ranger to Barry Pepper as Ned Pepper the villain and Miss Steinfeld as the brave little Mattie. I enjoyed the dark eerie sets. Nice work Coen Bros.
4.5 Stars
