After that centerpiece, however, the film slips into its own somewhat romanticized, albeit gruesome revisionist material, as if the first half of the movie wants to be entertaining fun, while the second half wants to be "Unforgiven. Kurt Russell stars as Wyatt Earp, and he's surprisingly effective in the film's central role. In fact, his is arguably the one character here that is given any depth or dimension.
The story focuses on Wyatt after he has retired as sheriff of Dodge City, traveling to Tombstone with his brothers Virgil Sam Elliott and Morgan Bill Paxton and their wives to settle down, play poker and maybe open a saloon. It isn't long, however, before the evil, lawless Clanton clan forces Wyatt and his brothers to put on badges once again, leading to the inevitable showdown. Thrown into the mix are Wyatt's opium-addicted wife Dana Wheeler-Nicholson and a traveling actress Dana Delany to whom he is attracted.
This subplot, however, is the film's weakest link, with Delany woefully miscast and displaying no chemistry whatsoever with Russell. The villains here, led by Powers Boothe as Curly Bill, Michael Biehn as Johnny Ringo and Stephen Lang as Ike Clanton, are all one-dimensional, hissing bad guys, though Lang does have a few moments where he tries to bring more to the role.
In fact, aside from Russell and Val Kilmer's scene-stealing, sickly, alcoholic Doc Holliday, there are so many characters coming and going, with none of them receiving adequate screen time, that it becomes difficult to keep track of them all.
It is also apparent that director George P. Cosmatos "Rambo," "Cobra" is more interested in action and blood-letting than character development.
