A tough U.S. Marshal helps a stubborn young woman track down her father's murderer.
Solid and tasteful remake of a John Wayne classic with a great central performance, but the movie doesn't add anything new or unique.
On rewatching: Entertaining and well-made, but not better than the original; perfect role for Jeff Bridges, though.
Maltin***: "Remake of the 1969 hit allows Bridges to put his own stamp on the role...The Coens' script calls on their love for language..., while cinematographer Roger Deakins fills the screen with beautiful imagery. Entertaining, to be sure, but being as unsentimental as it is, there isn't any emotional resonance when it's all over."
