An African American director casting one of the greatest African American movie stars as a “classic” western hero, just as President Obama prepares to ride off into the sunset (...) is a recipe for bold imagery.

As an example of classical Hollywood construction, The Magnificent Seven does the job. The casting is spot on, and with very little effort, Fuqua manages to create a set of rich characters with meaningful back stories.
