Movie Description
This Western has become a modest cult favorite since its release in 1993, when the film was met with mixed reviews but the performances of Kurt Russell (as Wyatt Earp) and especially Val Kilmer, for his memorably eccentric performance as the dying gunslinger Doc Holliday, garnered high praise. The movie opens with Wyatt Earp trying to put his violent past behind him, living happily in Tombstone with his brothers and the woman (Dana Delany) who puts his soul at ease. But a murderous gang called the Cowboys has burst on the scene, and Earp can't keep his gun belt off any longer. The plot sounds routine, and in many ways it is, but Western buffs won't mind a bit thanks to a fine cast and some well-handled action on the part of Rambo director George P. Cosmatos, who has yet to make a better film than this. --Jeff Shannon

"Best Earp Movie"
Written By: Hot Cookie
Seeing this classic in blue-ray is a treat. The clarity is fantastic and makes an already entertaining flick more enjoyable. Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer (in my humble opinion, the best role Kilmer ever had), Bill Paxton and Sam Elliot make this movie come alive and joined with the likes of Powers Booth and a cast of outstanding character actors who finish the job with convincing and exciting gun play, fast horses, and bravado, the viewer will find themselves immeshed in the wild and wooly times of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday. Excellent.
"Tombstone Rules !"

Great production values on this excellent flic finally reaching us after a long wait. The many long close-ups of the actors' faces are some of the delicious moments to savor on this disc. Truly an acting tour-de-force: Russel, Kilmer, Elliot, Paxton, Boothe, Biehn, Haden Church, Lang, and Heston ! One of the best man-filled flix for men and women alike. Great documentaries about the making of the flic with many pleasing anecdotes guaranteed to tickle the viewer's fancy. Great BR disc, buy it without delay.
