Mega-Turkey Western.

Rating: 2/10 (22 February 2004)

I like westerns as much as anyone but this movie is a gigantic failure. It doesn't even feel like a movie. The actors are more like wax museums figures somehow brought to life. But it's not really life, just a string of carefully constructed scenes that serve only the purpose of being a scene. Like the whole movie was made to serve up a lot of still shots for lobby cards. What blows me away the most is all the praise for Val Kilmers performance as Doc Holiday. His pathetic attempt at a southern accent is excruciating to watch. I don't know how he did it with a straight face. To all you yankees up north, let me assure you that no one really talks like that (except in Hollywood).
I know a lot of people will disagree with me but I have to call it as I see it.
