probably one of the more accurate filmatisations of wyatt earp . and dennis quaid be without a doubt the best doc holliday to this day . i really like that they at no point try to idealize the life in the west at this period . there be no real hero . only people who try to live their life or to make something out of their life . wyatt earp be portrayd a an at sometimes ruthless character and yet someone who care for his close family and friend . one of kevin costners good movie and worth watch at least once . if you choose not to it really your loss .
