THE HARDER THEY FALL

Director: Jeymes Samuel
Starring: Jonathan Majors, Idris Elba, Regina King, Zazie Beetz, LaKeith Stanfield, RJ Cyler, Edi Cathegi, Damon Wayans Jr., Danielle Deadwyler

I knew from the first moment I saw the trailer for The Harder They Fall that I would love it. As a young boy, Nat Love witnessed the death of his parents at the hands of an outlaw named Rufus Buck (Idris Elba). That event would forever scar Nat and now as an adult he’s formed the Nat Love Gang. He’s now played by Jonathan Majors (Loki, Lovecraft Country). The Nat Love Gang is one of a few rival gangs around the areas of Redwood City and Douglastown. Nat learns that Rufus Buck will be released from prison and gets his gang ready for any potential conflict that could arise. Rufus has his own gang, and his release has everyone talking. Nat’s former flame Stagecoach Mary states, “The name Rufus Buck instills fear.” Streaming on Netflix November 3, 2021
