| CRITICAL COMMENTS | |||||||||||||||||||||
| "Willis registers zero playing one of the movie's most magnetic stars, while Garner saves this piece of junk from being a total BOMB with his effortless charisma." -- Leonard Maltin | |||||||||||||||||||||
| "Garner makes a charming and effortless Earp, staring down gangsters and maintaining his dignity in the midst of the Hollywood shuffle. But Willis is simply not right as Max." -- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times | |||||||||||||||||||||
