The Magnificent Seven is a western version of the samurai film Seven Samurai. Seven of the best killers sign up to protect a small village from a gang of mexican bandits.The film is a brilliant example of how to make all your characters stand out and seem different to each other. This makes you care more about what is going to happen to them. The shootouts are great and you can see when an important character dies - which doesn't happen in every film. The music - although not as good as the spaghetti western's - is very memorable and perfect for this film. The cast are all exceptional in their own ways. This is a really good ensemble film.
****Good
