The Coen Brothers\u2019 remake of the surprisingly sunny, straight-ahead, 1969 western classic is a sparse, tight noir that ranks alongside unsentimental masterpieces such as <\/span>The Wild Bunch <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>Unforgiven<\/span><\/i>. Ornery, unkempt and borderline indecipherable, aging tracker Rooster Cogburn (Jeff Bridges) takes on a no-nonsense client (Hailee Steinfeld), a 14-year-old girl of brusque and eloquent efficiency determined to find her father\u2019s killer (Josh Brolin). The pair head deep into Indian Territory, with help from a fancy-pants Texas Ranger (Matt Damon), and fall deeper into a metaphor: vengeance exacts a heavy toll on young and old alike. Nobody walks away cleansed by vindication. Thanks to Roger Deakins\u2019 haunting cinematography and a bevy of outstanding performances (Steinfeld matches Bridges, scene for scene), a tale of flawed, stoic heroism becomes clich\u00e9-free cinematic poetry.  <\/span><\/p>\n
