Maybe my favorite Rooster film
1 March 2020
My odd watching order: First I saw the new version of "True Grit" with Jeff Bridges (for a couple of times actually). Then recently finally the original, and now this sequel to the original.

In some way I liked this one the best.

If someone doesn't already know Rooster Cogburn (John Wayne) is a rough sheriff who goes after bad guys, and even though he only has one eye and he drinks too much whiskey, his opponents end up usually dead by his bullets. Now, Katherine Hepburn plays an interesting sidekick here, an equally stubborn religious woman. The dynamic between these two offbeat characters is just great. There are a lot of funny moments but it's also great as an action adventure film.

ps. There's a machine gun and nitroglyserine. What else do you need!
