Review: Tombstone is hands-down one of the best westerns out there.  The cast of Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer and Sam Elliot knock the competition to the ground.   I can remember the first time I saw Kilmer's performance as Doc Holiday, thats when I decided he was more than a comedic actor (Real Genius), but he actually had some dramatic acting chops and a great range.

To clarify, this is the standard edition release, not the director's cut, as was released a few years back.   Tombstone is without a doubt the best dramatic recont of the showdown at the O.K. Corral.  This film is full of top-shelf actors and dynamic performances.

This new blu-ray release is rather outstanding.  It doesn't include the grain and soft edges that I figured it would, being a film from 1993.  Touchstone did a nice job of transfering it to high-definition.   We definately recommend this one.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars
