Val Kilmer Steals the Show

Rating: Null/10 (27 December 2005)

The movie is all together an excellent - if not historically accurate portrayal of the shootout at the OK Corral. Though Kurt Russell is excellent as the main protagonist Wyatt Earp, it is clearly Val Kilmer's character of Doc Holliday that makes the film. His acting is impeccable, and I don't think he has played a character as well since. He should have won the Oscar for Best Supporting Performance. Even if you aren't a fan of Westerns, rent this movie...not only for the other fine performances, but for Doc Holliday as well.
There have been few fine great Westerns in the past 15 years...the only other that comes to mind is Unforgiven...another reason that makes this film special.
