Rootin' Tootin' Shootin' Western

 

If you plan to see The Harder They Fall on Netflix, be prepared for a rootin’ tootin’ shootin’ Western. But this time, the characters are played by a great cast of Black actors. And they portray real people who existed back in the 1890s. Also, this new Western boasts a wonderful musical soundtrack practically embedded in the script – one that includes Reggae, Hip-Hop and Spirituals.

Watching revenge in the Old West

alive with shootings, a bloodfest.

“The Harder They Fall” has it all.

Black outlaw groups answer the call.

 

They fight each other with such flair.

We can’t help asking how they dare.

Acting and soundtrack can’t be beat.

Using real characters is neat.       

 

    Black cowboys and women lived in

the West those days, and some did sin.

But they’ve been missing in movies.

   So here’s a Western that will please.
