great western where the O.K. corral is just the starting point.

Rating: 7/10 (26 March 2006)

Tombstone is about the Earps and the O.K. Corral and what happened after. Kurt Russel and Val Kilmer are convincing as Wyatt and Doc Holliday. There are two great villains Curly Bill and Johnny Ringo (Power Boothe and Michael Biehn). More than the Clantons, they are the main enemies of the Earps. They have a huge gang of guys who call themselves "cowboys" and wear red scarves. The gunfight at the O.K. Corral is just what starts the series of killings. What is best about the film is the high number of action scenes, which brings a nostalgic feeling of the old westerns. Tombstone also shows the relationships between the brothers, their wives, and the incredible Doc Holliday, a man who knew he didn't have much time and tried to make the most of it.
