this movie and unlike it counterpart and tombstone and be actually a good piece of storytelling . the character development of the costner role be one you rarely see anymore in any genre and let alone an action western . base on historical account that i have read and this movie be very faithful to detail and do not necessarily portray the earps in the most sympathetic light and though they be definitely the protagonist here . though this be a long movie and it be beautifully photograph and score and well worth the time .
