One of the most iconic Westerns.

This film may well be the best western of 1960.
September 21, 2016
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.
August 08, 2011
John Sturges remake of Kurosawa's masterpiece, Seven Samurai, is enjoyable on its own terms due to the stellar cast, not to mention Elmer Bernstein's score, but it helps to know the Japansese classic.
September 21, 2016
Director John Sturges was extremely fortunate in securing a near-perfect cast for this enduringly popular western reworking of Japanese classic Seven Samurai.

What was wonderful in the Kurosawa film -- the recruiting and training of the mercenaries -- is just dead time here.
May 21, 2008
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.
October 20, 2014
Bernstein's score is one for the ages. This film, however, is not.
February 03, 2006
Overly celebrated, but the gun fights are among the best ever in a Western.
May 10, 2005
Even with some highly fetching Mexican scenery in color, this United Artists release, thrusting Yul Brynner well to the fore, is a pallid, pretentious and overlong reflection of the Japanese original.
January 01, 2011
Classic shoot-'em-up not for young viewers.
February 09, 2006
Sturges' remake of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai is always worth a look, mainly for the performances of McQueen, Bronson, Coburn and Vaughn.
