I'll give the movie this as well: it's way funnier than I expected.

 

My favorite funny bit is

 

the second bank robbery when the guy was like "you guys aren't even Mexican."

 

See, Sausage Party, this is how you make casual racism funny.

Again? He is still in that mode? Wtf happened with Jeff Bridges? And why does he keep playing Rooster Cogburn in every movie?

 

It works for this film though.He's in West Texas after all. He's not as grumpy either.

In response to your spoiler-tagged bit, also

all the banter between him and Alberto, and the nasty-ish racist crap he said to bust the balls of someone he really cared about.

It won him his Oscah and then he snapped and is now stuck. This has gotta be the longest single-accent streak by any actor, respected or not, in the history of cinema

Speaking of what's in that tag,

Spoiler

when Alberto got shot by Tanner, everyone in the theater gasped. And it was about 75% full, so it was pretty damn audible. It made me forget how wonderful crowds can be sometimes.

"You got a gun on you old man?"

 

"You're damn right I got a gun on me"

 

30 seconds later they barely get out of there alive. Priceless

It's his True Grit cowboy but no one remembers the name of his Crazy Heart cowboy

I'm thinking he's gone so method, that he can't break out of the voice anymore. It's like RDJ in Tropic Thunder getting too lost in the role.

[WrathOfHan]

Kingsman is next.

His agent hands him 8 scripts

 

"Which one can I play a cowboy in"

[The Futurist]

But isn't Coburn rooted in The Dude anyway ?

 

 

[CJohn]

Somebody help Jeff Bridges ffs.

[MrPink]

Now we need Tron 3 with Bridges back somehow and he's magically gained a Rooster Cogburn persona

[Jake Gittes]

Bridges can play Cogburn as long as he wants really, won't get any complaints from me

I need to hear "BIODIGITAL JAZZ" in that Cogburn voice.

This would make a great double feature with Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. Both tonally fluid, lived-in crime/heist flicks populated with great character actors and filled with gorgeous landscape shots, and the 25-year-old Bridges plays a bank robber in T&L so you can better reflect on the passage of time along the way
