Don't miss seeing Tombstone

Rating: 8/10 (13 January 2007)

I did not see Tombstone at the movie theater and that is something I regret. It is simply the best western/action/drama to be made in the last forty years. The characterizations written for the actors and the portrayals by every actor were flawless. I love watching the scene where Wyatt is confronting Johnny, the Faro dealer, in the saloon. You see Kurt Russell's eyes change from serious to deadly serious in an instant. It's magnificent. The attention to detail in every area of the movie was phenomenal. I had never seen the West as a vibrant, colorful, flamboyant place. Yes, there was dust and guns and good guys and bad guys but these characters seemed very real to the era and easily relates to life as we know it today. I recommend it for every person who loves movies. If you particularly like westerns, it is on a par with The Searchers, Red River, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, or Stagecoach.
