Sunset

They broke every rule loved every woman took every risk and solved the most shocking murder in the history of beverly hills. And its all true. Give or take a lie or two. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 12/21/2004 Starring: Bruce Willis Malcolm Mcdowell Run time: 107 minutes Rating: R Director: Blake Edwards

Blake Edwards directed this homage to both the Old West and the silent era in filmmaking that undeservedly received indifferent reviews and did little business. James Garner is perfectly cast as Wyatt Earp who, his lawman days behind him, is brought to Hollywood in the waning days of silent movies to serve as a consultant on a movie about his life. There, he hooks up with cowboy star Tom Mix (Bruce Willis, in relaxed, low-key mode) and together they solve a murder. Though Edwards includes elements of slapstick, he actually puts together a fairly involving mystery plot and a compelling cast of characters, including Malcolm McDowell, Mariel Hemingway, and Dermot Mulroney. But this is Garner's film, aided by a surprisingly likable Willis performance. --Marshall Fine
