A great movie comparable to black dynamite. I love the originality of this cast and hope they make more movies. If harder they fall and black dynamite had a baby it would be outlaw Johnny Black!

I love the style of Michael Jai White's films. This one was enjoyable touched on so many areas. It had just the right amount of well timed humor. There are also messages in the movie that you may miss if you aren't familiar with this style of humor so I recommend seeing it more than once, or adding it to your personal movie collection.

Los Angeles Times

White has offered a jumbled array of all-too-well-trod tropes and stereotypes that, all in all, can’t seem to hit the mark in terms of finding the sweet spot of being “so bad it’s good.”

Though it takes too long to get his gun out, "Outlaw Johnny Black" is a well-crafted and funny Spaghetti Western comedy with a refreshing goofiness and a delightful lead.

Rated: 2.5/4

The laughs are lost within an overly long, meandering plot and scenes that miss visual polish or comedic concision.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

This kind of film shouldn't have been over an hour and a half, and even at that it is kind of flat.

While it appears a good time was had on set by all, the material isn't there for viewers to share that sentiment...

Film Obsessive

With a clenched fist and a tongue in its cheek, White and company are here to emulate and embellish the best and worst qualities of westerns by making a cool one of their own.

Rated: 3/5
