Review of The Magnificent Seven Ride!

"Jim MacCay" (Ralph Waite) is an American who takes a job as a marshal for a small Mexican town and rides across the border to ask a colleague of his named "Chris" (Lee Van Cleef) to come and help him hold off a large group of Mexican bandits that are expected to raid the town soon. At first he declines the offer but when his wife "Arrila" (Mariette Hartley) is kidnapped, raped and then killed by three young thugs he rides out after them. After killing two of them he discovers that the third has joined the bandits and for that reason he decides to take up the cause with a vengeance. Unfortunately, the only men he can get to assist him are vicious outlaws themselves-and a couple would be more than willing to desert him if the time is right. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this was a decent Western all things considered. Admittedly, it isn't nearly as good as the original but it was still somewhat entertaining and I have rated it accordingly. Average.
