An OK flick

Rating: 7/10 (6 April 2003)

Good entertainment. Reasonably true to the main historical fact, but not very true to the details. I mean really, is there anyone out there who can honestly believe that Wyatt Earp stood in the rain crying? Certainly not in front of the entire town? And the character of "Doc" Holliday was stretched to the max, as was the character of Johnny Ringo. Indeed, the historical Ringo is barely a blip mentioned in passing in the period literature and the history books of the time. But I admit, it makes a good story, and it brings home the bacon. Just don't believe to much of it.
