When you think about Western movies, it is all about the scorching sun, cowboy boots, and of course gun duels.
Well, Magnificent Seven Movie wasn't one of them.
The 1960's remake of Akira Kurosawas Seven Samurai didn't live up to its expectations after initial review. Not even close to the old movie "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance".
The Seven Samurai movie is about farmers hiring seven ronins or samurais to help them fight bandits. And in return, they will receive a small amount of money. The small pack was led by Yul Brynner, "I've been offered a lot for my work, but never everything," he said.
The idea of Magnificent Seven to mimic Seven Samurais was great, until they released the movie. It wasn't like the old western movie where you have a sheriff, you have a lot of gun duels, and a lot of beer drinking. The movie even lets a woman fire a rifle. Yes, they let a woman, a lady at that, fire a rifle.
If you are a fan of Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, and Denzel Washington then go ahead and watch this movie. Ethan Hawke deserves its praise on this movie. He was able to depict and portray how westerners deals things on that era.
Plot:
Emma Cullen takes the matter in her own hands when her husband was killed in front of her by robber baron Bartholomew Bogue. Prior to killing Cullen's wife, Bogue was already terrorizing the town of Rose Creek. The townspeople find themselves murdered, overpowered, and defenseless against Bouge and his man. With the help of Teddy Q, they crossed path with Sam Chisolm, a bounty hunter from Kansas.
He then summon a chain of gunfighters, assassins, and a tracker.
For extended and intense sequences of Western violence and some profane language. The Magnificent Seven is rated PG-13.
