Default Magnificent Seven
I didn't think this was a patch on the 1960 original. Denzil Washington is a very good actor and I love lots of the movies he has been in, but I felt he didn't shine and didn't bring the charisma to the role that Yul Brynner did.
The remake of the original classic follows a similar story line: 7 men (hired guns, bounty hunters and gamblers) employed to protect people in a town against over-riding odds. The action builds with guns blazing right, left and centre, but as remakes go, it was mediocre rather than magnificent.
