Review of The Harder They Fall

The Harder They Fall is something different than the classic western we're all used to. Almost the entire cast are black actors, which in itself is already quite extraordinary when you think about westerns. The truth is that there were a lot of black people in that time so the westerns we're used to see are not very believable. That said I would have been happier if there were more white people in this one, just to make it more believable, a fifty fifty would have been better. But it doesn't really matter, the movie is just more than good. And for that we have to thank the excellent cinematography, the very good acting, but most of all the weird but excellent soundtrack. The soundtrack is really something special, certainly for a western, where this kind of music doesn't seem natural. It made this western stand out from the rest, I really enjoyed that. The Harder They Fall is one of the better westerns I watched this year, something different but refreshing.
