The Last Charge of Wyatt Earp

Rating: Null/10 (6 March 2006)

Wyatt Earp (Kurt Russell) arrives in the town of Tombstone with brothers Virgil (Sam Elliott) and Morgan (Bill Paxton). The brothers want to start a new life with their wife's as a family. Wyatt brought them together in a new town that offers opportunity. This was their chance to have a normal life.
The heartless, no good for nothing cowboys had also settled in the town of Tombstone. They follow no laws and by no means are going to abide by the laws of the town. The town's sheriff was murdered by one of the cowboys. This sets stage for the shoot out at the OK Corral. Wyatt refuses the original offer to be the law of the town but brothers Virgil and Morgan accept the offer. They cannot stand by and have the cowboys ruin the lives of the town people. This is where Virgil stands his ground and announces that no guns can be carried in town. The cowboys refuse to follow the law and are confronted by the Earp brothers and Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer).
Wyatt vows to the cowboys that they are finished. With spur marks left across his face Ike Clanton (Stephen Lang) was given the message to deliver "the law is coming and hell is coming with it." Wyatt and Doc ride country side killing those wearing red sashes that indicated they were associated with the cowboys. It was a fight for justice that had no reckoning.
This has to be one of my favorite films. The performances by Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer are excellent. The film was directed by George P.Cosmato. The movie provides plenty of action drama and is by far one of the best westerns made. I loved the humorous remarks made by Doc Holliday. "I'm your Huckleberry" meaning I'm the perfect man for the job. Val Kilmer has proved with his performance as Doc Holliday that he truly is the perfect man for the job.
