   I think it's certainly worth seeing. As mentioned in the other reply,   
   it's not particularly accurate, nor does it pretend to be accurate. But   
   it certainly captures an essence of something closer to reality better   
   than most western film. It's good fiction, and the script depends on a   
   stream of contacts with the famous and infamous that at least reflects   
   how small a world was the 19th century American West. Pretty much   
   everyone whose life was sufficiently active had many encounters with the   
   many of the same people and events.
