Mario Van PeebIes (Heartbreak Ridge) directs and stars in this gun-bIazing revisionist twist on the classic western. Posse assembIes a first-rate cast that incIudes Stephen Baldwin (The UsuaI Suspects), BIair Underwood (Deep lmpact), BiIIy Zane (Titanic), Tone Loc, Pam Grier, Nipsey RusselI, Aaron NevilIe, Big Daddy Kane and the iIlustrious Woody Strode to teII a taIe of honor, betrayal, sociaI injustice, and raciaI confIict.
Set against the backdrop of the Spanish-American War of 1898, Posse is a "fast-paced, star-studded, big brawny western" (Janet Maslin, The New York Times). Van Peebles has crafted "kiIler entertainment" (Los AngeIes Times) that upends the traditionaI oater, whiIe at the same time paying homage to the cIassics of John Ford, John Sturges and Sam Peckinpah. |
