The ultimate "Guy Movie"

Rating: 10/10 (19 October 2001)

If you've had enough of "chick flicks" you should watch this movie. This film was made to keep a room full of beer-drinking guys happy.
Until I saw "Tombstone" I considered "The Outlaw Josey Wales" to be the best Western ever made. Believe it or not, this is an even more satisfying movie, and the biggest surprise of all is that Val Kilmer can really act. He steals the show from start to finish as Doc Holiday. Kurt Russell even exhibits some talent as Wyatt Earp, and of course a Western wouldn't be a Western without Sam Elliot. The actor who portrays Johnny Ringo also gave a great performance.
The gunfight at the OK Corral is probably the highlight of the film, although there are many excellent scenes. I'm not sure if Doc Holiday says "I'm your huckleberry" or "I'll be your huckleberry" but whatever he says you'll be quoting it for months anytime someone challenges you.
In summary, it's a simple story of good guys being punished for being good, and then kicking the living crap out of the bad guys - something many of people would enjoy seeing considering recent world events.
