Of all the Earp movies that were made this is the one that tries to explain not only Wyatt's character but also his relationship with his family. Kevin Costner is excellent as Wyatt and also Dennis Quaid as Doc Holliday. The gunfight at the OK Corral was not as good as in most of the other films, also many of the action scenes were a bit confusing, not on the same level as the rest of the movie. All the women in this film are are well described, the actresses did a great job. The scenes have a tendency to be too dark at many important moments. Even though it is a long film, it grabs your attention all along.
