But was the language used in Safe as interesting as that used in True Grit?...

Because most of the point of the Coen's "True Grit" resides in the linguistic play, and it's pulled off mighty fine.

Of course it helps if one likes Westerns too...

Not comparing the actual movies just the imprint of the plots . . . - mr grits 09:15:13 05/05/12 (1)
'Safe' is an audience grab based on sheer homicide not more.

  at which point one looks beyond the (too frequently recurring) plot to either that "safe" aspect of a film only being what it
  is (an audience grabber) or having aspirations of being more than Just Another Western ("True Grit") and succeeding on "that" level.
  
  But my apologies Mr. Grits for locking into your post in making my point.
