superb performances

Rating: 10/10 (18 January 2007)

The performances of Val Kilmer, Kurt Russell, Sam Elliot, Bill Paxton, and Michael Biehn were OUTSTANDING. Val Kilmer in particular gave what I think is his best performance of his career. The story is very well told, and the historical details were quite accurate even if not perfect. This is a movie I can watch over and over and not grow tired. Wyatt stares down all his opponents and makes then feel they've lost before they start. Doc Holiday presented the class of a southern gentleman and the brutality of a frontier gunslinger. Complelling story and wonderful performances. The gunfight between Johnny Ringo and Doc Holiday was the epitome of style and guts. Love it, Love it, Love it!
