If there is any doubt about the superiority of this film, just watch the movie Wyatt Earp, and see how piss poor the same subject matter can be presented. Val Kilmers performance rivals that of Daniel Day Lewis in Gangs of New York, and Kurt Russell tops Kevin Costner in every way in the same role of Wyatt. Hell, if you through in Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef, there wouldn't be a better western ever made. No offense to anyone, but Unforgiven was a snooze-fest saved only by a powerful performance by Eastwood.
