One of the ten best westerns ever made

Rating: Null/10 (3 July 2004)

This is the best and most truthful account of the shoot-out at the OK Corral. But the movie is highlighted by stand-out performances by Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday and Kurt Russel as Wyatt Earp. Kilmer's performance in particular is definitely one of his best. His interaction with Michael Beihn defines the concept of protagonist. Structure and sense of place is excellent. The portrayal of the times and the costuming is excellent and when the movie moves, as all portrayals of these events must, into the transcendent quality of the events that followed the shoot-out it manages to keep at least one foot in some type of recognizable reality.
