Blake Edwards – 1988 

Blake Edwards’ Sunset is an enjoyable comedy-thriller with a great pairing of James Garner (playing Wyatt Earp for the second time following Hour of the Gun) and Bruce Willis in the leads.

Edwards’ film hits a few right notes, but the overall piece is lacking in real urgency. The film succeeds because of the charisma of Garner and Willis – if only they shared more screen time.
