Rating: 10/10 (19 February 2002)

Easily the best western in the last 30 years. OK, so Kurt Russell is a little short for our vision of Wyatt Earp, but he pulls it off in convincing style. I never tire of watching him slap Billy Bob Thornton around before stealing his game of Pharoah (whatever that is?) Great ensemble cast, powerful story, and fantastic action. Val Kilmer deserved recognition for his portrayal of Doc Holliday...the humor is biting. The story only suffers from occasional intrusions by wives, Shakespearean actors, and Wyatt's love interest. Otherwise, an awesome ride. 9/10
