In Arizona, after twenty-one years in prison, Wilson (Robert Foster) is released at the same time as Lee Marvin (Richard Roundtree) and while driving back home, they have a conversation about their future plans. Lee is absolutely regenerated while Wilson plots revenge against the despicable criminal Mackey (Robert Loggia), who framed him and was the responsible for his conviction. Wilson invites Lee and Mackey to heist a bank and raise money. Meanwhile, a group of young smalltime crooks plan the heist of the same bank to raise money for drugs, booze and women, and the clumsy Connor (Christopher Clark) becomes a serious threat for his friends with his shotgun.
The pretentious and boring "Wild Seven" has the intention to be a cult-movie or at least cool, but the work of the director completely fails. The result is a confused movie that goes nowhere, with awful screenplay and direction where the true intention of the revenge of Wilson is never clearly disclosed; the motivation of the youngsters is also obscure and the characters are terribly developed. In the end, watching this film was a complete waste of time. My vote is three.
Title (Brazil): "Os 7 Selvagens" ("The Wild Seven")
