For a movie that is meant to show that true strength lies within the heart, Captain America could have used a little more heart in its direction. The First Avenger was a horribly paced movie which doesn’t allow for you to hate it being that the story itself was one that anyone could get behind.

True Grit takes its namesake seriously as it is a movie about heart, sure the trailers and posters will show the one-eyed Marshall as the focus, but by the end of the movie I saw a whole lot of Grit in all the players involved.
