What Jack Says...
As you have probably noticed, this is the first review I have done for a western. That is mostly because I don't like westerns. Yes, I will give it up for Wyatt Earp and Tombstone, but that is about it. If I want the west I will just look out my window.
However, this movie was fantastic. I have heard that the original is not all that great and that the Coen brothers had to strip this down to the bone and rewrite it completely. I don't think I would have liked this movie at all if it were not for the script. I love Jeff Bridges so that was an easy sell for me, but I was sceptical about Matt Damon. I don't dislike him, but I am not a huge fan. I have always seen him as just a pretty face and otherwise not such a great actor. I was completely put in my place with his portrayal of the character LaBeouf. I think now that he is getting older I can take him more seriously and he looks way hot as a dirty cowboy.
The pacing of the movie was great, the acting was phenomenal and it was just an all around exciting movie. I was a little let down by the ending, but I don't know what I wanted instead. I guess I don't know how to fix it so I won't bitch.
I give this one an 8.
