The Magnificent Seven
Director – Antoine Fuqua
Cast – Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Haley Bennett, Peter Sarsgaard
Rating – 3/5
The Magnificent Seven is a spectacular picture; a breathtaking, action-packed spectacle about racism, capitalism, greed and honour. It revives the Western, a dying genre that was once beloved, with respect, wit and charm.

Rarely have so many charismatic actors been used in a film that feels quite as soulless as Antoine Fuqua’s update of “The Magnificent Seven.” It’s one of those projects that should work on paper. The cast is perfectly assembled, and I’ve actually been a bigger fan than most of Fuqua’s recent old-fashioned morality plays like “The Equalizer” and “Southpaw.” However, this effort, the opening night film of the Toronto International Film Festival, too often registers as hollow, an exercise in genre that has echoes of the John Sturges and Akira Kurosawa versions, but little of the charm of the former and none of the depth of the latter. The sheer talent of the cast here sometimes provides enough depth to get audience members to the climactic shoot-out, and there are a few definite MVPs in terms of ensemble, but it’s hard to envision this film having anywhere near the cinematic legacy of those that inspired it.
