Great Western
Added 1/19/2010
It tells the forgotten story of the black cowboys of the west you have to watch it to understand, Im not going to write a long review about the movie, because everyone is a critic so just see for yourself you be the judge.

A group of black American soldiers desert their ranks during the 1890s Spanish-American war, on account of a cruel and corrupt white colonel. Along with an ostracized white soldier they form a posse of outlaws and,with the colonel in pursuit, head to an all black town caught up in its own struggle against hostile neighboring whites. This is absolutely a great movie. The movie combines a mixture of solid Old West shootings with a unique sense of humor. The dialogue was uplifting that fit the era nicely. "Posse" gives a brilliant effort and is inspiring movie that is seldom talked about.

History Lessons That Tells the Truth
Added 1/12/2010
This movie is excellent. It is only western that gives the real story and shows you who were the players. This is currently one of my favorite times periods to study - the Black West. There are many excellent books that will tell you a similar story. The truth is out there for those who are interested in it. Historically, the movie tells the real story of how folk of African descent had to go through. Any other western you watch is a sham.
I highly recommend it as an educational tool for your children. Some people have their own agendas. I say if the truth turns you own, please get the movie ASAP. I especially want my brothers and sisters to watch it. You will never learn the truth in school. You are just being fed mythology.

This Was Terrible Beyond Belief
Added 1/1/2010
I love westerns. But this was not only a god awful western but this overall was a god awful movie. This sucked hard because the plot was extremely stupid, the acting was terrible, and the characters were terribly written and the director did a terrible job. The entire script was terrible and this movie had western cliches of the charts. Another big problem was that for a movie called posse they didn't act like it. Throughout the movie they didn't work together well and 2 of them died early in the movie so overall this was terrible and shouldn't be seen.

Sooo so bad
Added 6/11/2009
How anyone can give this even 3 stars, let alone five is beyond me.
This is so bad it's painful to watch. The acting is awful. The story terrible. The music, frankly if I were black, I'd find it insulting. Plus Van Peebels' wardrobe looks more YMCA than cowboy
This is the biggest turkey I've seen in a while. It's a kids film... I think it would be ideal for 8 or 9 year olds - who might quite enjoy it. But honestly - it is sooooooo bad.
I was expecting to sit down and watch a good western, with an intersting slant to it. Boy how wrong was I. You've been warned.
