POSSE is one of the most entertaining blaxploitation westerns out there, admittedly in a very small sub-genre. This was directed by and stars Mario Van Peebles as a labour of love and it shows. The film has plenty of action in the form of shoot-outs and explosions, all captured in loving slow motion in that typical 1990s bombastic fashion. Even better, Van Peebles has assembled a cast of notable faces including crowd-pleasing old-timers like Isaac Hayes and Woody Strode, so watching becomes very entertaining. Billy Zane and Richard Jordan make for decent pantomime villains and at two hours the pacing is very quick, so there are no slow spots here.
