Well Done

Rating: Null/10 (12 October 2003)

Former sherrif Wyat Earp (kurt rusell) moves to the town of Tombstone and meets up with his brothers Virgil (Sam Elliot) and Morgan (Bill Paxton) and their wives. Wyatt's best friend Doc holliday (Val kiler) is also visiting the town, and the group of them learn of Tombstone's problems. A massive gang named the Cowboys scower the town, virtually owning it in terms of power and law. The temperatures rise between these two groups of men, and a western war slowly begins. This is still the best western I have seen to date. it's gun fights are exhilarating, it's cast magnificent and the script interesting. Val Kilmer steals the show a bit as fast shooting, gambling icon Doc Holiday. He's my favorite character; original, charasmatic and dangerous. yet this character is flawed, as he has the disese terburkulousis (yes I know that's not spelled right). For the majority of film go-ers whom were born in 1989, they will certainly enjoy Tombstone much more than watching John Wayne parading about with his cheesy one liners and corny attitude towards everything. perhaps that's a bit harsh, but of the semi-interesting Westerns that Mr. Wayne has done I've yet to see one as cool and action packed as tombstone. highly recommended. 8.7/10
