Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2006)

Probably one of the best Westerns to come out in the past 15 years. Right up there with Open Range, Pale Rider, Silverado, etc. It doesn't attempt to be politically correct, and doesn't try to rewrite history for the sake of a new audience. A far cry from the dark brooding and pathetically boring Wyatt Earp with Kevin Costner which came out the same year. And not as dreary as Unforgiven. The box office doesn't lie. Tombstone cleaned up just like the Earps cleared out the Clantons. And this may have been Val Kilmer's finest appearance on film as Doc Holliday. No DVD collection is complete without this as one of your top 10 westerns. The new boxed director's cut is a fantastic value.
