Wyatt Earp along with his brothers and their wives move to Tombstone to start a new life putting his life as a lawman and gunslinger behind him. Also coming to Tombstone is Wyatt’s good friend, Doc Holliday. However, it turns out that “The Cowboys” a group of men, among whose members include The Clantons, pretty much act as if they are above the law. Wyatt would be asked to be Marshall but rejects the offer but his brother, Virgil who can’t stomach the violence around him accepts the job over Wyatt’s objections. Eventually a confrontation between them and The Cowboys is going to happen. And who will survive? —IMDb

Val Kilmer, more like Val "Killed it". He's the real star in this one.

Pretty straightforward story, nothing too complex. All around acting was decent although Val Kilmer was amazing! The standard 90's movie music was absolutely horrible, especially in a western. Maybe if it was a rendition of a Jane Austen book the music would have worked.

As George Pan Cosmatos isn't an auteur, I didn't expect much from Tombstone. In fact, I only saw it because of Val Kilmer whose filmography is in my opinion fascinating. And I liked it ! Each part, and there are a lot of parts in Tombstone, was a feast for the eyes and the ears. Really, this film will stay as a guilty pleasure in my memory. Recommended.
