True Grit / No Country for Old Men / Shutter Island

True Grit

True Grit is a powerful story of vengeance and valour set in an unforgiving and unpredictable frontier where justice is simple and mercy is rare. Mattie Ross (Hailee Steinfeld), is determined to avenge her father’s blood by capturing Tom Chaney (Josh Brolin), the man who shot and killed him for two pieces of gold. Just fourteen, she enlists the help of Rooster Cogburn (Academy Award® Winner Jeff Bridges), a one-eyed, trigger-happy U.S. Marshall with an affinity for drinking and hardened Texas Ranger LaBoeuf (Academy Award® Winner Matt Damon) to track the fleeing Chaney. Despite their differences, their ruthless determination leads them on a perilous adventure that can only have one outcome: retribution.

No Country for Old Men

From Academy Award winning directors Ethan and Joel Coen (Fargo, The Big Lebowski) comes this Oscar winning thriller based on the critically acclaimed novel from Cormac McCarthy. No Country for Old Men tells the story of Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin), a hunter who stumbles upon the crime scene of a drug deal gone wrong. He decides to flee the scene with a suitcase full of money, which was inadvertently left behind, putting his life in jeopardy. Llewelyn now finds himself in a cat and mouse chase with Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem – In an Oscar winning role), a violence-driven criminal who intends to stop at nothing in order to get back the money.

Shutter Island

Martin Scorsese (Goodfellas, Casino) directs this exceptional adaption of Dennis Lehane’s novel Shutter Island. Leonardo DiCaprio gives a riveting performance as U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels. Teddy has been paired up with newly assigned partner Detective Chuck Aule (Mark Ruffalo) to investigate the disappearance of Rachel Solando, a murderess who has escaped from a hospital for the criminally insane on a remote island located in Boston Harbour.

Upon arriving the two detectives are forced to surrender their weapons and are then taken to meet the head psychiatrist Dr. John Cawley (Ben Kingsley) who explains how impossible it is for anyone to make it out of the island. The longer the two detectives are on the island the more uneasy Teddy begins to feel as they begin to uncover much more than expected and come to realise that Rachel may not even exist. But what is the real reason they have been assigned to this island? (Matt Fairfield).
