As expected, Peter Sarsgaard plays a great ruthless bastard in the film. Haley Bennett might not have a fun role here, but she gives a pretty damn good performance to go along with a terrific turn she had in The Girl on the Train this year.
This is also character actor city, with the likes of Ethan Hawke and Vincent D’Onofrio looking like they are having a blast and chewing up scenery. Obviously, this is a much more diverse cast of characters here, but aside from that surface level observation, they are all their own unique people aside from the one trait that would make them recognizable to someone who has seen the previous film. Fuqua’s cast in this film keeps the basic gist of the characters from the previous film but expands upon them. Its no title cash in.ĭenzel Washington leads a nice charge of a cast to protect the small western town. This film has energy, excitement and is constantly proving its worth and reasons to exist.

And with all seven members, plus the surrounding characters, this film is lively, fun and separate enough from its predecessors to sit by itself and not feel incredibly repetitive or pointless. Said idea is that the cast leads the charge in the film. While this film seems like it pulls almost completely from the western version, it still gets the idea and then puts its own stamp on things. And Antoine Fuqua’s The Magnificent Seven is just that.įuqua knows the core recipe instilled in Seven Samurai and filtered right into the original The Magnificent Seven. It may be better than it has any business being. Overall, the point is, let a film, be it original or remake or rip off stand on its own and don’t groan. Heck, sometimes we knock off and get some of our favorites and new innovative ideas from that. They all forget that some of their favorite films or ones we have cherished over the years were remade. Add on top of that a remake that its remaking itself off of was indeed a remake, too and its just extra jokes.
As they prepare the town for the violent showdown that they know is coming, these seven mercenaries find themselves fighting for more than money.įor many people, the thought of a remake brings about eye rolls and their constant uninformed complaining about nothing original in Hollywood anymore blah blah. In Director Antoine Fuqua’s modern vision to a classic story, the desperate townspeople of Rose Creek employ protection from seven outlaws, bounty hunters, gamblers and hired guns after the town falls under the deadly control of industrialist Bartholomew Bogue. That’s no match for IMAX, but I’ll take it as a rather nice concession in the comfort of my own home. Well, now I finally do, and in glorious 4K Ultra High Definition Blu-ray. The film opened and did well, keeping it in theaters for quite some time, but I just could not get the time.

Also in hand, I had a free IMAX ticket from a guest spot on an internet radio program I guested on to talk The Magnificent Seven. I had a free ticket from The Magnificent Seven collection Blu-ray set I picked up at Best Buy to revisit it before this new one. Try as I might, I just could not get to Antoine Fuqua’s remake of The Magnificent Seven (The original, a Western re-imagining of Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai) in the theater.
