Critic Reviews of "The Harder They Come"
TIME MagazineOctober 02, 2015The 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 ReaderOctober 02, 2015With this 1972 cult hit, Jamaican filmmaker Perry Henzell produced a proud, forthright indictment of national and personal corruption.
Time OutJune 05, 2012Atrocious acting, amateurish camerawork and a hackneyed story line all make for one painful slog.
VarietyMay 27, 2009Perry 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 OutFebruary 09, 2006The 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.
TV GuideSeptember 30, 2015A gritty, realistic view of urban Jamaica that reveals the squalor of shantytowns tourists never see.
The SpectatorSeptember 30, 2015A film so assured and professional that it makes one suspect the presence of a thriving industry that has for years gone unacknowledged in Europe.
ColeSmithey.comApril 07, 2010Perry 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.
