  • Critic Reviews of "The Harder They Come"

    TIME Magazine
    October 02, 2015

    The Harder They Come is always exuberant, and sometimes strong, as casually surprising and effortlessly sinister as the blade sliding out of a gravity knife.

    Chicago Reader
    October 02, 2015

    With this 1972 cult hit, Jamaican filmmaker Perry Henzell produced a proud, forthright indictment of national and personal corruption.

    Time Out
    June 05, 2012

    Atrocious acting, amateurish camerawork and a hackneyed story line all make for one painful slog.

    Village Voice
    June 05, 2012

    The definitive postcolonial cult-movie musical.

    Variety
    May 27, 2009

    Perry Henzell emerges a director with a solid visual flair who can mix action and inchoate rage sans excess to give the film a taut pacing and use the local color and a basically predictable tale with a few new twists.

    Time Out
    February 09, 2006

    The action is as gutsy as the well-integrated score, which makes the movie's Hollywood-style gloss a little anomalous, but the basic humour and toughness emerge unscathed.

    Radio Times
    October 02, 2015

    Whatever the film's shortcomings, though, the music is superb.

    Film4
    October 02, 2015

    Rough 'n' ready but also rather wonderful.

    TV Guide
    September 30, 2015

    A gritty, realistic view of urban Jamaica that reveals the squalor of shantytowns tourists never see.

    The Spectator
    September 30, 2015

    A film so assured and professional that it makes one suspect the presence of a thriving industry that has for years gone unacknowledged in Europe.

    Ozus' World Movie Reviews
    August 26, 2015

    Predated Bob Marley's success by a year.

    ColeSmithey.com
    April 07, 2010

    Perry Henzell's 1972 rugged reggae crime story--loosely based on a '40s-era Jamaican folk hero/criminal--plays like a musically-inspired docudrama of the raw social reality of the impoverished island nation in the '70s.
