Movie Reviews of Wyatt Earp
Movie Review: One of the best Wyatt Earp theme movies out there . . . .
Summary: 5 Stars
In 1994, "Wyatt Earp" was released; eventually becoming a DVD movie that tells a possibility about key parts involving a family of brothers who stood in the face of angry evil. Kevin Costner fans will enjoy seeing him in the role of Wyatt, as Dennis Quaid portrays Doc Holliday, who joins forces with Gene Hackman as the patriarch Nicholas Earp, David Andrews as James Earp, Linden Ashby as Morgan Earp, and Michael Madsen as Virgil Earp - a combined force to be reckoned with. Jeff Fahey portrays Ike Clanton, joined by Adam Baldwin as Tom McLaury; who merge their band of outlaws and can't seem to be slowed down - let alone stopped, until they clash with the Earp brothers in Tombstone AZ.
This story has heart, and gives a realistic sense of strong willed women (like they would have to be to be associated with the Earp brothers), who resist the stone-willed Wyatt's leadership of the Earp brothers. Catherine O'Hara as Allie Earp (you will recognize her as the mom in the first two "Home Alone" films, the loopy designer mom in "Beetle Juice," and several other past roles); JoBeth Williams as Bessie Earp (better known from the first two "Poltergeist" films in her role as Diane Freeling, also appearing in Frasier as the attractive woman named Madeline Marshall who goes with Frasier to Bora Bora for a hot time in a suite unknowingly next to his ex, several Hallmark TV movies, and several TV series); Betty Buckley as Virginia Earp (also an accomplished actress with many TV series to her credit, and a movie or two); and then there's Mare Winningham who portrays Mattie Blaylock a saloon vamp lover of Wyatt's who is hoping to become his wife, but is replaced by a younger woman love interest - Joanna Going in the role of Josie Marcus (you'll recognize Mare Winningham from the 2009 film "Brothers" as Elsie Cahill, and Grey's Anatomy as Susan Grey, along with many other TV series roles; and Joanna Going from the 1991 remake of "Dark Shadows" as Victoria Winters and other TV series roles).
Isabella Rossellini plays the role of Big Nose Kate, the consort of Doc Holliday; and Annabeth Gish as Unilla Sutherland, the poignant element of Wyatt's early life - his wife who dies of a respiratory disease after which Wyatt goes off the deep end for a while.
Have I made my point yet? Okay let's keep going.
Tom Sizemore is in the role of Bat Masterson, Mark Harmon portrays Sheriff Johnny Behan, and Bill Pullman portrays Ed Masterson.
This is a stellar cast including Gabriel Folse as Billy Clanton and Kris Kamm as Billy Claiborne, with great scenery, easily believable costumes, and every actor / actress giving their respective role a pristine performance to make this movie unforgettable. Of all the portrayals, perhaps the clear stand out is Dennis Quaid who somehow even looks emaciated enough (as a tuberculosis victim) to convince any theater goer that the role was custom made for him (he lost 30 lbs for his role in this film). Most reviewers like Dennis Quaid's portrayal of Doc Holliday in "Wyatt Earp" better than Val Kilmer's in "Tombstone." It helps if you like Kevin Costner, who is the headliner for "Wyatt Earp" (go figure), and he delivers his typical performance with aplomb.
Primarily focusing upon Dodge City and Tombstone, this film gives us a feeling of law and order not being all that easy to come by; except for stalwart men who were willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of justice. In case you can't tell yet, I enjoyed this DVD movie, and am quite happy I bought it. "Wyatt Earp" is a 63 million dollar epic western filmed in South Dakota, USA, that will make you glad you spent 3 hours and 11 minutes to watch. A single DVD which you have to flip for the second half of the movie.
