Today’s review is centered around The Harder They Fall, a 2021 black western film featuring historical figures of outlaws, cowboys, and lawmen in a fictional story that centers around an outlaw regrouping with his gang to seek out revenge against the man who wronged him. Despite its fictional take on these historical figures, it’s still an overall good revenge film with hits of themes of mental health, as well as the cycle of revenge. The creative use of cinematography and great casting helped this film to stand out strong. It’s an overall fun film that allows more creativity with how black stories can be told without the overuse of stereotypical stories that are often used to portray black stories.
