The Magnificent Seven
Capsule by Dave Kehr
From the Chicago Reader

John Sturges's 1960 western remake of Akira Kurosawa's action classic The Seven Samurai. What was wonderful in the Kurosawa film--the recruiting and training of the mercenaries--is just dead time here, though the icon-heavy cast helps out: Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, James Coburn, Charles Bronson, and Robert Vaughn. 126 min.
