Quadruple duty, actually, if you count his credit as an executive producer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cOutlaw Posse\u201d has nothing to do with Van Peebles\u2019 previous entry in this genre, 1993\u2019s wild and woolly \u201cPosse,\u201d which suggests the multitasking filmmaker is tipping his Stetson to the multitude of \u201860s Spaghetti Westerns that, ahem, borrowed titles and eponymous characters from better known yet totally unrelated horse operas. (Think Django, Ringo, Sartana, etc.) But, then again, maybe not. Indeed, the film will probably be enjoyed most by folks not given to undue consideration of such trifling matters as lineage, logic and arrant anachronisms.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It\u2019s 1908, and Chief (Van Peebles) is introduced as he is lying low \u201csomewhere near Mexico\u201d decades after stealing, then hiding, a shipment of Confederate gold near the end of the Civil War. The passage of time has done little to diminish the self-assurance of his strut or the speed of his gunslinging prowess, which he demonstrates while making quick work of racist bad guys who make the mistake of insulting him and a proud Native American in a seedy saloon. \u201cI ain\u2019t killed nobody in a month of Sundays,\u201d Chief says, but it\u2019s obvious he hasn\u2019t forgotten how to make every bullet count.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    This turns out to be merely a warm-up exercise for our hero, who figures it\u2019s way past time for him to return to the mountains of Montana, where he hid the aforementioned gold in an underground mine. Along the way, Chief reconnects with his \u201cposse,\u201d a multicultural group of buddies that includes Carson (John Carroll Lynch), a conspicuously Caucasian former partner in crime; Spooky (DC Young Fly), a sassy cabaret performer who know just how far he can go while mocking white members of his audience; Southpaw (Jake Manley), an aptly nicknamed left-handed quick draw; and Queeny (Amber Reign Smith), an old flame whose aim is true when it comes to knife-throwing. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Unfortunately, along with old friends, he also draws the attention of an old enemy: Angel (William Mapother), a sociopathic bandit leader who lost a hand during a previous encounter with Chief, leaving him with a brass substitute for his lost <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>endage and an unquenchable thirst for revenge. Angel schemes to track down his nemesis \u2014 and, of course, the hidden gold \u2014 by forcing Chief\u2019s estranged adult son, Decker (Mandela Van Peebles, Mario\u2019s real-life offspring), to infiltrate his dad\u2019s merry band. And just to make sure Decker cooperates, Angel takes hostage Malindy (Madison Calley), the young man\u2019s classically trained musician wife, who\u2019s forced to serve as a personal violinist for the Beethoven-loving villain. (A nice touch: Angel also employs his very own biographer to ride along with his gang and glorify his exploits. Trouble is, the pen isn\u2019t mightier than the sword, or the six-gun.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    <em>Outlaw Posse<\/em> proceeds at something a bit slower than a full gallop, and incorporates more subplots than it can adequately do justice. But it never feels dull, thanks in large measure to the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> performances of well-cast supporting players in an ensemble that also includes Edward James Olmos as a crochety <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> store owner; Cedric the Entertainer as mayor of Lil\u2019 Heaven, a commune-like barter town that welcomes all ethnicities; and, especially, Whoopi Goldberg as the Stagecoach Mary (a.k.a. Mary Fields), a real-life Wild West icon who provides transportation and conversation with equal measures of sagacious sass.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It helps a lot that the impressively choreographed shootouts and other action sequences are suitably rousing, and that both Mario and Mandela Van Peebles appear persuasively dangerous even while cracking wise. By the way: The 1993 \u201cPosse\u201d co-starred Melvin Van Peebles, Mario\u2019s filmmaker father and director of the 1971 seminal blaxploitation classic \u201cSweet Sweetback\u2019s Baadasssss Song.\u201d (\u201cOutlaw Posse\u201d is dedicated to his memory.) Melvin gave Mario a small role in that film \u2014 and now Mario has continued the family tradition by casting Mandela in this one. And the beat goes on.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    As is often the case in revisionist Westerns, there are a few too many scenes here that smack of self-conscious <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> consciousness, and strive to lend the material a weightiness that it doesn\u2019t fully earn. On the other hand, it shouldn\u2019t be surprising that Van Peebles is so intent on acknowledging the similarities of the injustices endured by ex-slaves, Native Americans and other exploited groups. After all, this is the same man who bookended his 1993 \u201cPosse\u201d with an elderly Woody Strode sarcastically noting that claiming Columbus discovered America and colonizers seized control of land is like saying he discovered your car in your driveway and drove off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
