Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAccording to director Antoine Fuqua, Martin Sensmeier was cast as Red Harvest because he auditioned with luxuriant, almost knee-length hair. Sensmeier wasn't told his hair was a selling point, and he cut his hair soon after. Fuqua was upset, then got the idea for Sensmeier to have his hair cut into a Mohawk.
- GoofsAs the crew ride into the mining operation to score some dynamite, a 45-starred American flag is flying on a wooden pole. That configuration flew from 1896 (admission of Utah) to 1907 (admission of Oklahoma). In 1879 the flag would have had only 38 stars.
- Quotes
Sam Chisolm: What we lost in the fire, we found in the ashes.
- Crazy creditsPart of the closing credits are a montage of the Magnificent Seven and their actor credits, which ends with a big red seven that contains the faces of the seven. The theme from The Magnificent Seven (1960) plays over this montage.

Featured review
Finally another great western movie!
To be sure, all the western clichés are found in this movie; and I don't have a problem with that! One of the things I liked best about this western was the pacing, sometimes I find westerns to be a little too slow (for my personal taste - subjective, I know) but I felt this movie nailed it, even with a run time a little over 2 hours.
The action scenes are great, very well done. The casting and acting was great - Denzel does a great job as the leader of this rag tag group of guys. Pratt, of course, nails the comedic relief role.
The movie carried a surprising amount of "heart" throughout it all the way to the end.
Here is the bottom line: Yes, this movie is worth your hard earned money to go see in the theater.
