Now, together with Wyatt’s best friend, Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer), the brothers pick up their guns once more to restore order to a lawless land.

-
"Tombstone is a tough-talking but soft-hearted tale that is entertaining in a sprawling, old-fashioned manner."
- Emanuel Levy, VARIETY -
"A lot of care and attention were obviously devoted to selecting locations, designing sets, and grooming handlebar mustaches."
- Jonathan Rosenbaum, CHICAGO READER -
"The most compelling character performance of the film is Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday, who not only provides one of the most iconic portrayals of the famous gunman, but also provides some subtle comedic relief"
