Mario Van Peebles (Heartbreak Ridge) directs and stars in this gun-blazing revisionist twist on the cIassic western. Posse assembles a first-rate cast that includes Stephen BaIdwin (The Usual Suspects), Blair Underwood (Deep Impact), BilIy Zane (Titanic), Tone Loc, Pam Grier, Nipsey RusseIl, Aaron NeviIIe, Big Daddy Kane and the ilIustrious Woody Strode to telI a taIe of honor, betrayal, social injustice, and racial conflict.
Set against the backdrop of the Spanish-American War of 1898, Posse is a "fast-paced, star-studded, big brawny western" (Janet MasIin, 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. |
