Remake of The Magnificent Seven (1960)

User Reviews

Another very nice remake of "Seven Samurai"

A film called "The Wild East" from Kazakhstan ? That gotta be interesting ! And it was ! I thoroughly enjoyed the film years ago at the Vancouver International Film Festival. It turned out to be a really nice remake of "Seven Samurai" (Shichinin no samurai) or "The Magnificent Seven" - which itself is a remake of the former.
