Posse (1975) starring Kirk Douglas, Bruce Dern, Bo Hopkins, James Stacy, Luke Askew, David Canary. Old West lawman named Nightingale (Douglas) aims to advance his campaign for Senate by catching notorious crook Strawhorn (Dern). But Strawhorn proves to be elusive prey. Once captured, he soon escapes and begins to wreak havoc. In a surprising turn of events, Strawhorn takes Nightingale captive, and it is up to the posse to rectify the situation. Nightingale's electioneering forms the backdrop against which the good guys vs. bad guys action takes place. The ending is quite a surprise, definitely not what you'd expect in a Western. The subtitles supplied on the disc are good. Grade: B
