great fun, but haven't we done this all before?!
I liked this movie quite a bit. However, only a few minutes into the film, I felt like I was experiencing deja-vu. And then I realized it!! This was an obvious remake of African QUEEN. And, they didn't even try to disguise it very well, as Kate Hepburn pretty much plays the same part she did in the original AND John Wayne is playing a part in a movie that should have been re-titled "TRUE GRIT PART II". So, despite its lack of originality, how did I score the film so highly? Well, the acting and dialog is so good that I really didn't mind watching this re-hash. Plus, for those of you who have never seen African QUEEN or TRUE GRIT, you can probably enjoy this movie even more.score 8/10
