Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2013)

Retired lawman Wyatt Earp, after a successful career in Dodge City looks to become rich in solitude with his two brothers and fellow friend Doc Holliday in the booming town of Tombstone, Arizona. But when trouble in the form of the ruthless gang known as The Cowboys threatens the lives of all they hold dear, Earp and his family must defend themselves and become legends in the process.
What many consider to be one of the finest western films ever made, with superb action and a captivating story that brings the grit and raw determination of the old west on the silver screen. Kurt Russell puts up one his finest performances as the conflicted lawman, but it is truly Val Kilmer's rendition of Doc Holliday that truly steals the show. The action is top notch as there is substance behind it rather than just action for the sake of it. 1800's Western life is brought to life in a realistic fashion. The most legendary shootout in western history is portrayed brilliantly and is perfectly paced within the film. Western life is perfectly portrayed in all of its glory which only adds to the charm and realism of the film. Those who are not fans of the western genre will find it hard pressed to not enjoy this film as it is so brilliantly acted, directed and presented.
