Entertaining Western; memorable Kilmer

Rating: Null/10 (23 April 2003)

TOMBSTONE (1993) *** Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Bill Paxton, Sam
Elliott, Michael Biehn, Powers Boothe, Dana Delaney, Jason
Priestley, Joanna Pacula, Diane Wheeler-Nicholson, Stephen
Lang, Thomas Haden Church, Charlton Heston,Billy Bob Thornton, Robert Mitchum (narrator). Entertaining and star-studded telling of Wyatt Earp (Russell) and his brothers
blood-thirsty for law and order in the Old West. Bristling with action
and humor thanks to Kilmer as the tubercular scene-stealing Doc
Holliday. Noteworthy: real life kin to the lawman Wyatt Earp
costars as bad guy Billy Claiborne.
