דון על The Harder They Fall

Another Netflix turd is what this is. A "western" where everything looks so shiny, colourful and out of place that you are left wondering did Denis Villeneuve do another crappy new Blade Runner movie already and set in the wild west this time? The story has been done a million a times and is so mediocre, slow and boring that it isn't really worth even mentioning. A hefty running time of two hours and 19 minutes and yet ultimately very little actually happens in the movie and a lot of it is padding in the form of pointless dialogue and asinine musical numbers and just for the hell of it why not throw a blue smurf dancing scene in the mix as well to waste everyone's time. The characters are equally boring and uninteresting. My favourite being the 'quickdraw' moron who gets killed and we are supposed to care for him? That dude maybe had a total of 2-3 minutes of screentime in the movie before he got shot. Also maybe it isn't a good idea to challenge somebody to a lethal duel and then empty your gun in front of him only to slowly reload it. When he got shot for being a moron it was the only highlight of the movie for me. Good riddance I say to him and this crappy movie. Oh, almost forgot, this being a Netflix movie you can expect all the tacky virtue signaling including a completely pointless female on female make-out scene in the end just to tick all those boxes.

It became apparent very early in the film that it was stylized to make a point, and that wasn't about being a western. The conflict of modern music over western themes seemed to be an attempt to bridge the more-African-than-American culture of the past to the present less-African-More-American modern context. Lastly, it was obviously more a mythic cultural celebration fantasy than any form of objective story telling. That said, yeah, it was ham-fisted in much of this, but completely watchable and dare I say enjoyable. A feat Netflix so often struggles to produce.

This all came into stark focus when the "white people's" town they robbed was literally white...and scared. Funny enough, while I really found this a clumsy--again--hyper-stylized storytelling method, it did cause me to pause and ponder that the typical "Wild American West" stories we have been telling for generations have been the same, although far more inclusive, it would seem, to me. In the end I say: fair play! 6/10
