A truly adventuresome, action-filled film that is played more for thrills than for conveying a story. Apr 8, 2008 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

It's a little dated and has a few shot-on-bad-studio-set moments, but on the whole it's an impressive film, even if you don't normally care for Westerns. Jun 22, 2003 | Rating: 3.5/5

It's 'guys on a mission' time in this wonderful but improbable tale. Mar 10, 2003 | Full Review…

The set-up of rough guys getting hired to free a kidnapped woman seems somewhat generic for Western films of that era, but the movie takes a few unexpected turns on the way. The action is plenty and filmed decently enough, the landscapes are absolutely gorgeous. Of course it still feels a bit dated but overall it's still a pleasant and entertaining experience from a time long gone.

This is Badass.Jack Palance as a mexicanLee Marvin as Lee MarvinA mine car chaseExploding arrowsThe glorious cleavage of Claudia Cardinale
Son of the Magnificent Seven - With few exceptions, westerns tend to follow a basic formula: bad guys, good guys, horses & guns. The Professionals isn't deep or cerebral but it is entertaining. A star-studded genre classic.
Good cast, ordinary western.
