The Harder They Fall


The Harder They Fall | Official Trailer | Netflix
Netflix

A real Saturday matinee kind of Western except for the all black cast. Several rival gangs fighting for dominance with lots of people getting shot, kind of like Saturday night in Chicago.  Clumsy negotiating, it's like the screenwriters were just looking for drama, not trying to make it real. There was some sly humor. One bunch sets out to rob a bank. When one of the robbers hears just what bank they are going to hit, he says "that's a white bank". The next scene they are riding into the town where this bank is, and the whole town is white. It's made all the more obvious by the fact that the all the buildings in the town they just came from, which is populated entirely by black people, are painted in dark colors.

The soundtrack was kind of an odd mix. That's all I've got.
