The Harder They Come - 1972 - 7/10
Yeah, ganja boy, dreams might still come true, no matter how much you toke.
Ivan, hoping to be a hit singer, hits the brick wall of “The Man.”
The music business, rigged, corrupt, indifferent to talent.
Once Ivan reinvents himself as a serious gangsta, though, his star ascends.
Bad boys sell records, chart action means money.
Ivan just has to keep ahead of the cops.
Highly entertaining film, irresistible music, infectious throughout.
