Remaking the western movie True Grit was ballsy. Improving on John Wayne's classic was downright unAmerican. Mel Gibson should keep an eye on directors Joel and Ethan Coen, lest they engage in further subversive activities.In this film, Mattie Ross travels across the Arkansas/Oklahoma landscape to avenge her slain father. The teen must negotiate the rough physical terrrain of "Indian Territory" and harsh moral terrain of wild frontier. She exudes courage, honesty and fairness - values modern Americans could cultivate more and boast about less.
