    Once Upon a Time in Black America...
    A wild bunch of good, bad and ugly outlaws fight over a few more than a fistful of dollars with true grit, before, after and during high noon, saddles ablaze with nothing to dodge, magnificent as many times as you like, wherever you decide to search, on any number of trains to Yuma, along as many red rivers as you can trace, stagecoaches at the ready, with Winchesters drawn, pistols locked, cocked and loaded.

    Great performances and direction in a genre that had lost its momentum and mojo over the years, but as seen here, can still surprise and engage, with not too much variation from an overcooked theme.

    How the West shoulda been won
    The new Hollywood royalty shows how to film Westerns with liberty and justice for all. Don't bother with the ratings and the amateur reviews of this movie. You know how trash write reviews. This is why all entertainment written and directed by and featuring Black artists on IMBd receive lower scores than most thinking people might expect. I'm here to tell you The Harder They Fall is perhaps the best Western ever filmed. It features the best African American actors left standing as of 2021. It's written by one of today's great Black writers. And the story grabs you and holds you and shakes your sorry butt until the very end. Watch & Enjoy.

    pure garbage
    What a waste of time...over two hours of pure stupidity....bad acting...everyone is playing badass just because they hold a gun behind the safety of a gang....very stupid choices from main characters that don't make sense....lots of annoying slow motion...,a few plot armor scenes that get on your nerves.... a lot, damn lot awful music....i mean, what the hell, it wasn't a musical....the script was also terrible, full of catch phrases that helped the characters to play badaa as i mentioned before....i was hopping the shouting would be good, but no, even that , and in general all fight-action scenes were a joke....and despite every pretending to be awesome, most of the fights were unfair...garbage.

    Excellent
    I found this moving very intriguing. It has all the action of classic shoot ' 'em up westerns but mixed in modern eclectic music. I typically don't watch westerns much these days but thought I would give it a try and I wasn't disappointed for sure.

    Some reviews were about keeping it a classic western like the music didn't fit the era. This is a movie not a historical documentary.

    I liked the humor like when the town was an all white town and it literally was all white.

    It's funny and sad which works for me.

    ?? What is this movie even about?
    I love westerns, but I couldn't finish this. It's super-pretty to look at, and the soundtrack is kind of cool for a western, but I couldn't seem to figure out what the point of it was. Eventually I just turned it off... *shrug*
