Owen Gleiberman is a film critic for EW
In his flashy black Western, director Mario Van Peebles (''New Jack City'') once again goes for the gut, the throat, the funny bone, and any other convenient response mechanism he can grab hold of. Photographed like a gleaming Old West beer commercial, powered by enough Dolby-ized violence to stock a modern urban shoot-'em-up, Posse is a glossy, kinetic pastiche of Western conventions. The most enjoyable thing about the movie is the infectious offhandedness with which its mostly black cast members embrace their roles as gun-totin' outlaws. If only their characters were more than paper-thin bits of shtick.
