In the gritty, biographical drama Doc, Jeremy Renner delivers a raw and compelling performance as the infamous frontier gambler and gunslinger, Doc Holliday. Once a respected dentist from Georgia, Holliday is now a man clinging to life in the thin, dry air of Colorado, his body ravaged by consumption. The film, directed by Frank Perry from a script by Pete Hamill, paints an intimate portrait of the legend's final days, far removed from the mythic gunfight at the O.K. Corral. As his health deteriorates, Holliday is forced to confront the ghosts of his violent past and the fragile relationships that define his present, including his complex bond with the woman who stands by him. This is not a tale of blazing six-shooters, but a poignant character study of a dying man reckoning with the cost of his own notoriety, exploring the man behind the myth in the stark and unforgiving atmosphere of the fading American West.
