Shoot-'em-up action and a flashy visual style drive this entertaining Old West tale. Director-star Mario Van Peebles saddles up as the laconic leader of a posse that comes to the aid of black townspeople who are besieged by a tyrannical sheriff (Richard Jordan). The fine cast includes Billy Zane, Blair Underwood, Pam Grier and Melvin Van Peebles (Mario's father).
