The Harder They Fall Ratings & Reviews
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
The result sometimes feels like a film made almost entirely of style and swagger, a body count with a killer soundtrack. But there's satisfaction in that kind of bloody, bare-knuckled storytelling too...
Austin Chronicle
Sarah Jane
In a movie stacked, and I mean stacked, with amazing actors one would think it would be nearly impossible to stand out and yet Majors does. That's not to say many of the others aren't great because they are.
Associated Press
Jocelyn Noveck
There's a hint at the end that we might see some of these characters again. Can we put in a request for a just a few less bullets, in favor of emotional firepower?
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
"The Harder They Come" always manages to keep at least one foot on the ground. This is a film about real people, and - for all of its modern energy - Samuel's debut stays connected to the soil where their legends were born.
Newsday
Robert Levin
This movie operates on its own plane of existence, bursting forth onto the screen with a degree of confidence that rarely materializes on this scale.
USA Today
Brian Truitt
If HBO's supernaturally tinged "Lovecraft Country" didn't prove to enough folks that Majors is Hollywood's most captivating new leading man, "Harder They Fall" rests that case.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
Static and slow, the movie feels even longer than its 137-minute length. Part of that is all the exposition. But it's also Jeymes Samuel's many directorial self-indulgences.
Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)
Ty Burr
"The Harder They Fall" wobbles between witty homage and ugly Tarantinoid overkill, resulting in a movie that looks like it was more fun to make than it is to watch.
Chicago Reader
Sheri Flanders
Leave your saddlebags at the door and mount up for one hell of a ride.
Rolling Stone
K. Austin Collins
This is a Friday night affair: It wants to rouse us out of our seats -- and it does. Samuel's movie, with its reggae-inflected soundtrack and booming cast revels in the freedoms of pastiche, reckless violence, and glossy, staccato style.
Fox 10 Phoenix
Roxana Hadadi
There are joys throughout The Harder They Fall, and the film is entertaining enough for the most part. But its overly glossy slickness and its 130-minute runtime are distractions.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
The Harder They Fall is a mess, but it's a fun mess.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
To call The Harder They Fall transgressive would be giving it too much credit: Its various outrages are obnoxious because they have so little to do with anything like a story.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Samuel makes the most of his formidable cast.
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
This cowboy tale is unapologetically strong and Afrocentric, a la Black Panther. It's as cutting edge as it is retro.
Mashable
Kristy Puchko
Bursting with dazzling Black stars, the Netflix-made Western introduces some of the fascinating Black cowpokes who made their mark on the Wild West.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Christy Lemire
This cast is gorgeous, charismatic, and they are all up for the challenges of the physicality of the Western.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Amy Nicholson
This is a giant Western that is so, so fun.
NBC News THINK
Aramide Tinubu
Though much of the narrative exists in the action sequences, the connections between the characters are profoundly humanizing. Samuel doesn't try to reimagine the Western. Instead, he presents the genre as it always should have been.

Bob Mondello
"The Harder They Fall" is colorful in very smart ways.
