THE HARDER THEY FALL takes us into a parallel universe in which the Wild West is ruled by colored gunslingers. Of course, there is a lot of social explosive in this innovation, especially in a country like the United States. As Europeans, the skin color of the protagonists is of secondary importance, this is about the achievement prince and that leads to the question: Is THE HARDER THEY FALL any good?
The answer is yes and no. The protagonists are all cool, the music is determined by R&B rhythms and hip hop, the mood is desolate and hopeless, the characters taciturn and stoic.
That sounds good and is also entertaining, but director Jeymes Samuels film cannot add anything groundbreaking to the western genre. At most, the potential for violence is higher than in ordinary Wild West films. Everyone has to judge for themselves whether that is positive or negative.
