Just finished up True Grit with Jeff Bridges. After seeing the original a while back, the new one does a really good job. I think the one with John Wayne did a bit better job exposition wise, especially early in the film, but the action scenes are a lot better in this one and the end is done better too IMO. Then again, all the action scenes in John Wayne movies involve people saying "AHhhhhhhhhhhhh" when they get shot.
