This time around, it's Antoine Fuqua's
remake of The Magnificent Seven (Grade: C), which updates the 1960 John Sturges Western (itself a
remake of The Seven Samurai) for the mid-1990s by substituting
hired henchmen for bandits, James Horner for Elmer Bernstein, and Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke, and Chris Pratt's impression of Harrison Ford for the original's ensemble of tough - guy
actors.
