Obliterated is what should have happened to this idea in Netflix's pitch meeting. This started out as a Spy parody and devolved into "The Hangover" meets "(Almost}Weekend at Bernie's" and added a unneeded frontal nudity dash of "Porky's". Too bad, too long and too much. It could have just been a bad movie, but an 8 episode series? C'mon! I really hope this was a bad AI script gone rogue during the writer's strike. 2024, let's do better. This is NOT it.

Rarely are the stories of the Black Cowboy given more than a cursory footnote yet The Harder They Fall has such vibrant complexity, it gives the casual viewer a pristine education into a much maligned history and an ethnic audience reflective pride. I told my dad it reminded me of old Clint Eastwood movies like "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" we used to watch when I was a kid. Idris Elba, as Rufus Buck has clearly cemented himself as a worthy villain, yet giving his character depth with simmering intensity, callous viciousness and bad boy swagger that delivers the movie gravitas without him becoming a caricature. Having the story explore the female perspectives of Trudy and Mary, portrayed by actors Regina King and Zazie Beetz spiced up an interesting narrative and kept them from being one dimensional. Rounding out the stellar cast with Delroy Lindo, Regina King, Zazie Beetz, Jonathan Majors, LaKeith Stanfield and Edi Gathegito is truly top notch. The stunning cinematography transports you with panoramic shots across the prairies of the fictitious towns of Maysville and Redwood, yet the stark metaphorical and visual differences between the two cities is a harsh reminder of a segregated history. Director, Co-Writer and Musical scorer, Jeymes Samuel, who goes by the stage name "The Bullitts" is the brother of Grammy award-winning musician Seal. He developed flawless symmetry behind the camera with a nod to Urban music videos with his debut full length feature. This amazing musical score features Jayz, Kid Cudi, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Seal, Jadakiss and others making The Harder They Fall a definite Western classic!. Wild West Cinema will never be the same.
