Movie Reviews of Hard Times

Movie Review: It's About Honor
Summary: 5 Stars

Great film about personal honor and the warrior spirit -- in a world where no one else exhibits any. The fighter does what he has to do, what he can do -- as well as he can, as long as he can, willing to sacrifice what he must to succeed. This is warrior spirit and personal honor, which can also be seen in "The thirteenth Warrior," another much misunderstood film. Now that hard times are upon us, more of us should be watching movies like this for inspiration!

Movie Review: Excellent period piece, Bronson's best
Summary: 5 Stars

Portrayal of a quiet humble street fighter that drifts into New Orleans, hooks up with Coburn a slick but loosing gambler who sets up his street fights. Bronson at his best. Great settings and depictions of the area and times. Very Good supporting cast especially Strother Marting who plays his cocaine addicted ex medical student role with humor and compasion. Portrayed as violent but not nearly so by todays action picture standards.

Movie Review: Hard Times is Good time of Entertainment
Summary: 5 Stars

Not your classic action movie. More of a drama. But there's plenty of action to see. That's what makes it so good to see. You get a good plot, excellent fight scenes (and Charles Bronson's physique is cut and looks like he may be one of these brawlers in real life), without all the blood, explosions, and sex -- and yet it still keeps you glued to the set. Now, to me, that's a good movie. Enjoy the fights.

Movie Review: "I knock people Down"
Summary: 5 Stars

Charles Bronson is the archetypal loner/depression-era knight, riding into town on that fraight-train named poverty. And this guy can fight! Bronson's face is like an aged fine -wine...enough creases to convince you that he's "past it."
Strother Matin is absolutely perfect as Poe...opium reveller incarnate. I am moved by this film...its tone, music,and characterization makes it a wonderful event. See it!

Movie Review: Charles Bronson's Masterpiece
Summary: 5 Stars

Loosely based on the early career of Jack Dempsey, 'Hard Times' captures the spirit of the depression era South and tells a story of a simple man who 'knocks people down' to make a few dollars and 'to fill some loose ends'.

Charles Bronson, James Coburn and Walter Hill were never better. No car chases, no cardboard villians, no vigilante executions......just a great story deftly told.
