Dead On !

Rating: Null/10 (25 April 2000)

I have been to Tombstone Arizona, and the sets in this film are dead on. The story is right out of the of newspaper of the day as there's more to the story than just the OK Corral fight. Kurt Russell is great as a reluctant hero and Val Kilmer gets off some great shots from the hip and the lip. Everyone is a target to his wit, friend and foe. There are too many charactors to mention, but they all have their moments.
Being a cowboy junky, I think this is the most accurate depiction on the old west and in my top 5 of westerns, with Shane, Yellow Ribbon, Wild Bunch, Searchers.
Only the editing is terrible. Count the shot from Doc's double barrel shotgun and when a Curly Bill shoots up the town. Plus as Wyatt stands in the street during a rainstorm, which looks more like a hose from a ladder.
Still a terrific cowboy flick and so realistic.
