Charles Bronson plays a silent street fighter in 1930s New Orleans, managed by the cool James Coburn. Jill Ireland, Strother Martin, and Michael McGuire co-star in this spare existential Depression dirge. It owes a lot to its noir origins that Hill adores so much, yet there's something very fresh and vital about its subject and approach. That's really what made so many of these films from the '70s so endearing. A bonus is the love and affection displayed by the real-life husband and wife team of Bronson and Ireland. --Bill Desowitz

Hard Times (DVD): Drug fuelled psychosis hits Christian Bale again! (846 words)

Rating:

Harsh Times is the new film from the pen of David Ayer, writer of Training Day, the terrific Denzil Washington & Ethan Hawke thriller from a couple of years ago. This time Ayer has also taken hold of the reins of director to have complete control of his vision.
