Seven Samurai set in the old West. This was good film overall. My only gripe is that the score was too theatrical at times. During some scenes, especially early in the film it felt as if a song and dance number was about to break out.
It is a choral western.
McQueen, Bronson. What could go wrong? Classic Western. Magnificent (sic!) scenery and stages. Boring score - certainly no Morricone. One of the better Westerns since it isn't as polished as some other US movies of this period. I especially like the peasants and other regular people. You get the idea that the wild west isn't exclusively populated by the usual suspects typical for this genre. Still, too many people are too often one-dimensional stereotypes and this is another Western that isn't prepared to break with the usual conventions of the genre.
The main story is good. Simple but good. Luckily, it's not an entirely happy ending. I've heard it's a rip-off from Seven Samurai but since I didn't watch this Japanese movie before I wasn't disappointed.
Anyhow, that's a solid classic western.
“Theres one, look at the scars on his face”. “The man for us, is the one that gave him that face”!
The golden age of westerns. For the whole family, must see.
