Michael Jai White takes the Black Dynamite formula way out west.

Bit of an odd one as the dramatic elements are good enough to stand on their own two feet without the comedy. And the comedy is good enough to not need the well thought out story.

So it ends up with the jokes being too spaced out to be truly riotous, and the drama never quite builds up enough momentum to properly excite. And the representation of Native Americans is awful, just awful.

That said, it is funny and the plot is engaging, so it works none the less.

Special props go to Erica Ash who steals every scene she’s in. One of the best film comedy performances I’ve seen for a while.
