Proof that Hollywood might be running out of ideas this latest blockbuster from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures and Columbia Pictures is a re-make of a re-make of a re-make! Originally born from the 1974 Japanese film Seven Samurai this classic western re-boot boasts a star-studded ensemble cast featuring academy award winner Denzel Washington, goofball turned leading man Chris Pratt, ladies’ favourite Ethan Hawke, South Korean heartthrob Byung-hun Lee
and football hard man Vinnie Jones to name but a few.
When the sleepy town of Rose Kick is threatened by ruthless industrialist Bartholomew Bogue, the desperate residents enlist the help of seven rag-tag outlaws, fronted by bounty hunter Sam Chisholm, to help protect their homes. As the outlaws await the climactic grand finale of a confrontation they get to know the villagers and in true Hollywood fashion find it in their hearts to fight for much more than money. A must-see for western fans and pretty much anyone who loves a good ol’ blockbuster action romp.
