Yes, The Kingdom was very good.

Open Range is probably the best cowboy shootout ever filmed.

But, for the best gun battle ever filmed, you need to go back to Northwest Passage, with Spencer Tracy.  The Rangers attack on the Abenaki village is a classic!  It was filmed in real time, starting just at dawn, and finishing up a few hours later.  Lots of shooting and hand-to-hand, plus a great shot, looking over a Rangers shoulder as he tracks a running Indian and shoots him.  And the best part of it is, it's a true story!

The Way Of The Gun

Yes Sir! I recommend this one to everyone. Lots of guns, gun fights and great dialogue.  If you haven't seen this one please rent immediately.  The opening with Sara Silverman is worth the price of admission.  Then you have quality exchanges like these:

Interviewer:Heterosexual?
Parker: Can I ask you something? Are you a faggot? See, you asked me if I was heterosexual; I asked you the same question, only I was clear about the answer I was looking for.
 
The person who has nothing for which his is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
