An odd, virtually one-of-a-kind film that breaks away from genre conventions, Posse (1975) deserves credit for its unusualness. It’s a socio-psychological realist Western of the sort that was common in the 1950s, yet has little spurts of sex and violence and an anti-establishment tone that ground it squarely in the ’70s. It’s very generic in appearance, almost like a TV movie at times, yet was made by people not particularly associated with the genre, and they keep it intriguingly off-kilter. Stuart Galbraith IV
