The Harder They Fall

Take it as it is: a terrific entertainment full of stars, charisma and pure fun. It took me by surprise, hooked from the very first cold blooded scene throughout and never let me down as a high budget Netflix film. So much fun!

Great casting and performances. Excellent sets, landscapes, costumes, shots and cinematography. But the 139 min runtime dragged on forever with the not-as-big plot, slow pacing and dragged out and unnecessary scenes. Then trying too hard to add the Tarantino flare was cringeworthy. The entire story lacked depth, and chose style over substance. Tons of action, bullets and blood, with a story that could've been told in 90 mins top. What was worse were the musical numbers and loud, overbearing and unfitting rasta music (for a wester?), something I'd expect from a B-movie. The ending was the only worthy act. Imo, it was a waste of amazing talent. It's a 6/10 from me.

Love a Western!!! This one was fun graphic and violent!!! The Cinematography was great , If you're a fan of Tarantino check this one out.same old story good vs Evil but with a 21st century vibe , so if you have Netflix and wanting to find something new to watch check it out.

This movie has so much style that substance is barely required. Yes, there were Black cowboys. Yes, these people existed. But this movie is mostly focused on (a) a ridiculously talented cast, (b) a familiar revenge tale, (c) amazing scenery/cinematography, (d) an absolutely banging soundtrack. By the end, you almost forget how whitewashed (and often boring) Westerns were for 100 years. It is big, bombastic, violent, unapologetic, and sexy as Hell. You may not love it, but you will 100% be entertained.

And then the Martian tried to make a western. A painfully slow epic which steals from every western genre that came before it, but then it lapses into reggae musical interludes. And the gratuitous violence against everybody, Jesus... and no story. Well, there is a story, but the film meanders so much you don't care. The weirdest thing I've ever seen. Watch 3:10 to Yuma again, instead...or maybe The Harder They Come ;=)
