Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Rated: 3.5/4 Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Jason Robards tackles Doc Holliday and, like practically every other actor who's essayed the role (Mature, Douglas, Kilmer, Quaid), has a grand old time cutting up. Rated: 3/4 Oct 3, 2021 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row Sturges has the guts to confront a myth he helped perpetuate 10 years earlier in Gunfight at the O.K. Corral, and examines the effects of its morally questionable violence on the men who helped perpetrate it. Rated: 3/4 Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Nathanael Hood The Retro Set ...a plodding, turgid affair, drained of life or momentum by an enveloping morbidity... Rated: 5/10 Dec 29, 2018 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Depicts folk-hero Wyatt Earp's moral decline from upstanding lawman to someone so filled with hatred that he's bent on personal revenge. Rated: B+ Jan 4, 2007 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...marvelously entertaining performances... Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 30, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

j F Robard stole the show as doc holiday, while Gardner was a little stiff, but I guess that what westerns were all about! Wonderful movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/13/24 Full Review Nol P I am glad I watched this movie finally and even though it moved slow at times. The bro chemistry was good between Robards and Garner as Holliday and Earp and I enjoyed the landscape backdrops of the southwest, the movie sets, cinematography and history. My rating based on this RT system is yes worth a watch. Not a bad running time too. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review Audience Member Really good one right here. You need to try it James Welch, Henderson, Arkansas, June 16, 2023. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/17/23 Full Review Steve D As is often the case, the film fails to show much of the true story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/22/23 Full Review william k Serious, contemplative Western is intelligently staged emphasizing the gravity and ambiguity of its revenge topic; chemistry between Garner and Robards is remarkable and, together with some beautiful cinematography, adds to the quality of this film. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Enjoying my last day of vacation. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
