Hell bent on avenging the death of his father, Johnny Black vows to gun down Brett Clayton and becomes a wanted man in the process. He goes into hiding, posing as a preacher in a small mining town that's been taken over by a notorious Land Baron.

Critics Consensus

Outlaw Johnny Black is an earnest spaghetti Western homage whose strong lead performance and well-crafted bursts of humor shine through even as its familiar tropes and wandering story sometimes soften its impact.

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.”

2.5/4

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.

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

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...

3/5

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.
