Matt Damon, Jeff Bridges, and an impressive 14 year-old newcomer Hailee Steinfeld star in TRUE GRIT, a faithful adaptaion of Charles Portis' 1968 novel by the same name.
Fourteen-year-old Mattie Ross’s (Hailee Steinfeld) father has been shot in cold blood by the coward Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin), and she is determined to bring him to justice. Enlisting the help of a trigger-happy, drunken U.S. Marshal, Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges), she sets out with him — over his objections — to hunt down Chaney. A Texas Ranger named LaBoeuf (Matt Damon) is also after Tom Chaney for the murder of another man in Texas in a race to catch him before Mattie and Rooster.
In the two clips, Matt Damon as the Texas Ranger teases Jeff Bridges' Rooster on his lack of gun skills. In the next clip, Mattie stands up to the drunken Rooster who barrs her from tagging along.
TRUE GRIT is in theaters December 22.
Rating: PG-13 for Some intense sequences of western violence including disturbing images.
