The Harder They Fall
Regina King, Idris Elba and LaKeith StanfieldBy Dwight Brown NNPA News Wire Film CriticThey’re roughriders. Eight years later, after a perfect gestation period, The Harder They Fall comes to theaters and Netflix and its genius is no fluke. Nat Love (Jonathan Majors, The Last Black Man in San Francisco) has been trailing and killing badmen who messed with him and his family decades ago. The last one standing is the killer whom he despises most, the cunning and elusive Rufus Buck (Idris Elba). Samuel’s ability to mix old, new and Black culture differentiates him from those two, and Black Westerns (e.g., Mario Van Peeble’s Posse) are a genre all their own.
