True Grit (2010) Stands As One Of The Greatest Westerns Of The Modern Era.

In my opinion, that is. Even grittier and more period correct than Unforgiven (though not nearly as great overall). More genuine and focused on its Western elements than anything Tarantino has tried. It has the unmistakable feel of an actual snapshot of the time period. No other filmmaker that I know of adhered so completely to authenticity like the Cohen's did by having the characters not use modern contractions in the language (will not in place of won't, for example).

Everything about this film screamed authentic Western. His climactic shootout scene was up there with the best in all of the genre's history, in my opinion.

The film was so well done, such an improvement over the flawed original, that I didn't even mind the normally grating Matt Damon, lol!
