A good movie

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since I kept hearing some good things about it, I was quite eager to check it out. It is one of the most famous stories about the Wild West and there have been already numerous versions of it. Furthermore, the production was rather messy (Kevin Jarre was the original director but was fired during the first days of shooting) but in spite of all this, they still managed to make a pretty good movie. To be honest, in my opinion, the whole thing was still not really original but it was still quite entertaining and there was a very neat cast all giving competent perfomances (Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton, Powers Boothe, Michael Biehn, Charlton Heston, Jason Priestley, Stephen Lang, Thomas Haden Church, Dana Delany, Michael Rooker, Billy Bob Thornton, Billy Zane, John Corbett, Terry O'Quinn). At least, it was miles better than the terribly misguided ‘Wyatt Earp’ starring Kevin Costner. To conclude, even though I don’t think it is really a masterpiece, I still think it is a solid Western, the best I have seen so far about this legendary story, and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
