I suppose most of us have heard just a little bit about Tombstone. If not, now would be a good time. Good vs. Evil. The Western movie genre is one of the backbones of modern western world. Tombstone is more than a western, it's a tale of greatness and courage.
Where would a hero be without his faithful followers? Well, Wyatt Earp is not alone, as no man can fight and win a war alone. His two brothers and his old friend Doc rides with him to war like the four horsemen, as predicted by Johnny Ringo (Michael Biehn), as he speaks of the horseman on the pale horse. The script includes a line that burned to my memory: "I'm coming, and Hell's coming with me!". Wyatt (Kurt Russel) unleashes Hell on the Cowboys, the first gang of organized crime in American history.
All characters are top notch casted and it's just a great story. Normally, Kurt Russel don't impress me that much, but he's magnificent as Wyatt Earp. My favorite, however, is Powers Boothe as Curly Bill.
Buckle up and enjoy!
