The Magnificent Seven [Blu-ray]

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

A Mexican village is being terrorized by the bandit Calvera (Eli Wallach) and his gun blazing goons. Seven American mercenaries are hired to protect the village. The group trains the townsfolk in gunplay as a trap is set for Calvera. The bandits suffer casualties after a raid, but they regroup to capture the seven gunmen. Yul Brenner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, Horst Buchholz, James Coburn and Brad Dexter star as the seven guns who must escape wrath of their captor Calvera. The story is taken from the Japanese film “Seven Samurai” which served as a blueprint for this near classic Western saga.

This film may well be the best western of 1960. by TIME Magazine

Sturges’ remake of Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai is always worth a look, mainly for the performances of McQueen, Bronson, Coburn and Vaughn. by Chris Petit

Very nearly a classic, this Americanization of Akira Kurosawa’s The Seven Samurai does a good job of mirroring the major themes and attitudes of the original while re-creating that monumental film in an occidental setting. by TV Guide

There is a heap of fine acting and some crackling good direction by John Sturges mostly in the early stages, during formation of the central septet. by Variety Staff
