Seven Men from Now (1956)
Randolph Scott stars in this revenge western from John Wayne's production company. Following the shooting of his wife during a robbery Scott sets out to hunt down the gang that performed the robbery.
There is not a lot that is original or unique about this film and the twists such as there are can be spotted fairly easily but that being said the script is ably brought to life by the cast and crew. Lee Marvin is especially good as the opportunistic and slimy Bill Masters who just wants to get the gold that the gang stole and sees the hero as an exploitable situation. There are some elements of the plot which are a little dated in the views expressed and some of the image quality, especially in night time sequences is not great this is still a very watch-able film.
3/5
