Rooster Cogburn (1975)

Marshal Cogburn from True Grit is reinstated and assigned the task of capturing a gang who stole nitroglycerin. A middle-aged woman whose husband was killed by that gang joins him, along with a young Native American.

Not a disagreeable watch, but hardly a memorable one. There are some well-filmed action sequences, but the dialog's triteness may get cringeworthy at times. There may be even a subjective discomfort for viewers who liked the first movie a lot as I did, a feel of desecration or something of the sort.

Watched it in pan-and-scan.
