One of the best western cowboy films I've ever seen.

Rating: Null/10 (29 July 2003)

Kurt Russell never fails to give an excellent performance he is perfect as Wyatt Earp.Val Kilmer is terrific as Wyatt's friend Doc Holiday. Wyatt and his brothers arrive with their wives in tombstone looking for a peaceful place to settle down. Dana Delaney is the beautiful lady Wyatt falls for though his already married. His wife is a drug addict and Wyatt's marriage doesn't seem to be working out the way he hoped it could have. Wyatt is in retirement but Doc isn't but soon trouble comes in the form of an outlaw gang called "the cowboys" wearing red scarves tied to their belts. They cause all kinds of trouble wherever they go. One night they kill the town sheriff and then they bring their revenge and kill Wyatt's brother Morgan, Wyatt comes out of his retirement for good and becomes US marshal and he wants revenge too. Soon a shootout takes place and even Doc gets in on the action as well.
Spoiler- my favourite scene in the film was when Wyatt walks in to the "Oriental" bar and sees from afar Thornton making a scene and shooting his mouth off. Thornton is acting like a bully with the other person his playing poker with. Wyatt gets up and has a confrontation with Thornton and then slaps him round the face. Thornton has no idea whom his crossed as he wipes blood from his mouth and Wyatt says:'Are you going to just stand there or bleed'(something like that.)Thonton then gets thrown out by Wyatt.Classic!
This is one of the best western shootouts I've ever seen I'm not usually a big fan of western cowboy films but it has a good believable story about real people I'll watch it. Tombstone was very enjoyable and the film was brilliantly acted there were no boring scenes throughout the entire film it was a great ride.Dont miss this you will not be disappointed with an all male cast including Kurt Russell,Val Kilmer,Bill Paxton,Michael Biehn,Sam Elliot,Billy Zane, and loads more then you cant go wrong with this one.
