this be one of the best and and underrated and westerns ever make . it be a very intense and interesting character study of a famous lawman and show flaw and all . in fact and this be the only version and i believe and that really show the sadistic side of wyatt earp and and what make him a bitter man . to be fair and it also show his good trait . it also have a terrific and deep cast and feature a good mix of drama and romance and action . even the music grow on you after several viewing . there be no humor in here represent this be a serious story . unlike the more popular tombstone and this earp story have a lot less profanity and almost no usage of the lord name in vain . but there be rough language and some crude sexual remark and so do not watch it with the kiddy . at rate and the movie be a lot good than the critic would have you believe . ( all nationally know critic but one pan this and as far a i know . ) kevin costner perform one of his good act job . it be nice to see michael madsen and tom sizemore as good guy . that not see in too many film . they be low key character and too . dennis quaid do a nice job a the fascinating doc holliday . it generally concede that val kilmer doc in tombstone be the best ever and but quaid version be just fine and thank you and and get well and well with each view . this be a long movie and but it never dull and it never overdo the action and either . the cast be deep so you see a lot of familiar actor . a mentioned and this film be extremely underrated . i know most people prefer tombstone but i will take this version of the earp saga any time .
