Review of The Harder They Come (1972) by Will D — 06 Nov 2011
The Harder They Come starring famous Jamaican reggae star Jimmy Cliff Ivanhoe "Ivan" Martin who like many jamaican lowlifes tries to make money only by getting a record produced, but that doesn't guarantees that people will listen to it.
So in order to make a name out of himself, he starts a career as a criminal, in order to get his face in the paper, and his song played on the radio. He do everything to be famous. They captured the jamaican society very good, but it's the same martyr story all over again.
Live fast, die young. But still, the music is good, and the art direction and locations are believable. So my thumb is up.
