Product Description
From Amazon.com
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

Bruce Willis and James Garner in Sunset,
By Just Me "disaster/comedy junkie" (Saskatchewan, Cda) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Sunset (Widescreen/Full Screen) (DVD)
Sunset (Widescreen/Full Screen)Early career, Bruce Willis showed us that he has his own style. You just have to see him and James Garner together in this movie to really appreciate the chemistry. It's set in the time of the early 'talkies', but it's edge of your seat enjoyable. Buy this and enjoy it too.

Willis and Garner make a great team,
By A. A. Bowman "Fan of Rick Springfield and Sta... (Salisbury, MD USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Sunset (Widescreen/Full Screen) (DVD)
I actually enjoyed this movie tremendously, and I try to catch it whenever it appears on cable. Bruce Willis (who, for the record, looks darned sexy in a cowboy hat) and James Garner have fantastic chemistry - I really wish they'd do another picture together, preferably a western.The movie does play fast and loose with history - but heck it's not a documentary! Repeated through the movie is the line, "That's the way it really happened - give or take a lie or two." When taken in that spirit, "Sunset" is a very entertaining couple of hours.

Always a pleasure to watch.,

I must have been one of the few people who actually saw this film in a theatre when it was released. I got the impression I was the only one who liked it, too, and I'm glad to see now that I'm not alone. From James Garner's always-likeable, always-masculine performance as Wyatt Earp to Bruce Willis's engagingly flirtatious performance as Tom Mix (and wearing some incredible outfits - he manages it beautifully and believably!) to a pretty darned good murder mystery, this film always pleases me. I guess perhaps the mix of old West and silent films confuses some viewers, but I found it very intriguing.
