Val Kilmer's finest moment

Rating: 8/10 (27 September 2001)

Classic Western, in every sense. Some elements of the film which may jar or seem cliched are very much in homage to older films - you just have to settle into that "Western-style" suspension of disbelief and enjoy. Kurt twitches a remarkable fine moustache and gives a stand-out performance, Val easily steals every scene he's in ("Nobody move!!" "Nonsense! Feel free to move...."), all the lesser players over-act hugely and enjoyably, the cinematography is fantastic and the gunfight at the OK Corral is the definitive, nail-biting version.
A close tie with the Outlaw Josey Wales for Greatest Ever Western.
