Does it latch properly?
Do the door seams at the A pillar and B pillar, line up properly?
does the door stand out from the front fender and rear quarter?
The door is on a hinge, any angle that the door sees that would trow the door energy toward the cabin would close harder than if the car was canted the other way. Also if the front of the car is higher than the back of the car, it would close much harder.. chances are very slim that an alignment is in order.. now if your door didn't latch , a possibility of an alignment issue might be looked at further...anything other than a neutral horizontal and verticle plane will effect the closing force which is normal.
