Main characters posing on the poster for True Grit (2010)
Some actors just seem to fit the Western genre particularly well, Jeff Bridges being one of them. He almost always seems larger than life, and has an undeniably controlling screen presence, whether playing heroes, villains, or characters somewhere in between. He feels masculine in an old-fashioned way that does befit the Western genre, which can reflect old-fashioned values, or comment on/critique them in some way.
Both before and since 1995, there have been numerous depictions of Wild Bill Hickock throughout film and TV, with Wild Bill putting enough of a spin on the legendary Old West figure’s life to be mildly interesting. Bridges is typically good in the lead role, and makes the film around him decent enough, though it’s probably the least compelling Western the actor’s been in.
From there, Bad Company is expectedly grim and perhaps even brutally honest, its approach being to show the struggles of life during a time that was often glamorized or mythologized. It’s therefore not the most fun or exciting of Westerns, but it achieves what it sets out to do quite effectively, and is perhaps one of the more underrated Western movies Bridges has starred in to date.
2 'True Grit' Directors: Joel Coen, Ethan Coen Whether you watch the 1969 version with John Wayne, or the more recent Jeff Bridges version from 2010, sitting down to watch True Grit is a wise choice. Both succeed in telling a compelling story about a teenage girl out for revenge against the man who murdered her father, getting the help of a drunken and aging Deputy U.S. Marshal named Rooster Cogburn .
