Review of True Grit

True Grit (1969)
7/10
Good but not Dukes Best Movie by a long shot
19 July 2003
Lets make no mistake, True Grit was a good movie but it is far from John Wayne's best. Stagecoach, Red River , Quiet Man, Searchers, In Harm's Way and the Cowboys are far and above better than True Grit. I think the Oscar voters must have felt bad for passing Duke over in all these great movies he made and made up for it with True grit (like cher in Mask). True Grit has great things, writing, story and the drunken 'Rooster' Cogburn and the outlaw Ned Pepper played by Robert Duvall. True Grit also has some terrible things, the acting of Kim Darby and Glen Campbell are horrible, some of the worst ever in movies, TG would have been a lot better with different actors playing the parts. 7 out of 10 stars

I call that bold talk for a one eyed fat man. Fill your hands you son of a bitch!!
