Description
From the creator of TRAINING DAY comes HARSH TIMES, a gritty look at friendship, loyalty and ambition set on the extremely rough streets of south central Los Angeles. Jim Davis (Christian Bale) is an ex-Army Ranger recently discharged from the military, yet still haunted by nightmares of his former occupation. While seeking a position with the LAPD that will allow him to marry his Mexican girlfriend and bring her to the United States, Jim kills time chilling with his best friend, Mike (Freddy Rodriguez). Mike is feeling the heat from his longtime girlfriend, Sylvia (Eva Longoria): either get a job or get out. But the love of a beautiful woman can't compare to the bonds of friendship, and Jim and Mike are soon cruising the streets of South Central, slipping back into a deceitful life of drugs, violence and petty crime, just like when they were kids.

Rodriguez and Longoria outshine Bale
Bale is great actor and plays the role of soldier suffering from PTSD and does a great job. And the government does little to help these ravaged soldiers like most VA Hospitals. The special effects showing Bale's PTSD very well. Having worked with soldiers with PTSD again his portrayal of these guys who turn to ETOH and drugs to self-medicate is also very realistic. Unfortunately Bale's portrayal of a white "gangster" is severely poor. Having worked extensively with real white gansters, again, Bale appears to be "acting". Edward Norton would have been a much better choice. Also the whole first hour is boring showing guys drinking and drugging. It is obvious that poetic justice for Bale is death. I dont trust the government, but Bale is hired by a Federal enforcement agency- flunking the piss test (he doesen't even get a throw down urine?) Seriously? And failing the personality test? And the lie-detector test? Yet he is still accepted. I found this movie boring, and just bloody unrealistic. Again, Rodrigqez and Longoria are the real actors in the movie. As well as the guy who buys the gun and travels to Mexico ( I am not sure what his name is). I think this movie is given such high reviews because of Bale and that is too bad.

Needs to be seen by every guy attracted to the razor's edge.
About half-way through I was thinking 'where's this film going?' ... but the payoff at the end was one of the most emotionally striking I've ever seen so it adds up to very unusually-paced revelation and a truly unique and deep buddy-film. I'm bowled over and thinking "there but for the grace of God go I." The warrior path is full of harsh pitfalls and this film says so much without ever being preachy or explaining too much. It's like a "choices map" in shorthand and needs to be seen by every guy attracted to danger and living on the razor's edge. It has the power to change lives. I'm grateful to everyone involved in it's production.

Bale will make you laugh, cry and get high.
This is one of Bale's most underappreciated roles he's ever done. No production company would dare touch a script like this in 2017 due to the sensitive nature of US veterans being portrayed in a negative light, but I feel like this movie did a great job of showing us both sides of someone with PTSD in the short amount of time we as viewers are exposed to. Essentially the battle of good vs evil within Jim (Christian Bale) himself is the centerpiece of this movie. Not a great amount of action that you might expect from a Christian Bale movie or a vast amount of prior history on Jim's military background. Though it has just enough to keep on you edge, along with the fact that viewers can relate to the friendship between Jim and his best friend Mike. A friendship that is struggling to hold on to its street-life glory days, yet on the precipice of full blown adulthood responsibilities that they both are trying to avoid. People who gave this movie bad reviews don't understand movies without Transformers and Zombies, so please give this a chance. EK

2 friends who live for the day with no care for the future
Christian Bale is Jim Davis a war vet with PTSD. Now that he’s out of the service he’s struggling to find a job in law enforcement. At the same time he and his friend Mike (Freddy Rodriguez) run around Los Angeles drinking, doing drugs, and getting into all kinds of trouble. As Mike’s girlfriend Sylvia (Eva Longoria) says, Mike is dangerous, crazy and he has a gun. The story is about how they live for the day with no thought about the future and where that leads them. Bale always does a great job with his roles and this is no exception. His troubles are always just below the surface. One moment he’s happy talking with Mike and the next thing you know he’s exploding with rage at strangers that he sees at the stop light or acting psychotic with his own girlfriend Marta (Tammy Trull). Then he acts like nothing happened. This is linked back to his PTSD. It’s his crazed personality that drives the movie along and takes you for a ride. C

Very Violent Movie About a Violent Psychopath
Extremely violent movie about a character with PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) who ticks all the boxes in his resume, except one! He's a raging psychopath! But for some strange reason, this maniac scores his dream job in the Department of Homeland Security, immediately after he fails to be accepted into the local police department. Unfortunately, he's partied the night before the mandatory pre-employment drug screen as he has partaken in smoking marijuana (which is illegal per Federal Law)with a couple friends in order to forget about the fresh rejection by the police department. That leads to any number of situations occurring as the man proves over and over he is in the middle of a complete emotional nuclear meltdown and there is no undoing what he puts in motion. Not Christian Bale at his best as the story presented as it was didn't go anywhere except to ground zero as this character was self-propelled in a tragic path. He's worthy of playing a more complex characters than crazed killers.

On the highway to he_l would be a better title.
This was a hard one to rate and we almost bailed on it within the first 30-minutes but some action scenes at the right time hooked us. I say “hooked” because that’s I felt at the end I really wasn’t all that impressed with it. it was a hard leap to believe the two central characters grew up together and did all this stuff before as kids. Bale as a bad boy with killer instincts trying to land a law enforcement job was a real stretch but once you’re on that highway to the depths little to nothing can help you and, in this movie, no one tries because they’re all having too much fun being unlikable characters doing really dumb stuff and not caring a dime how it impacts anyone they allegedly care about. Casting was poor on this one also for thinking Bale would be believable in this role based on everyone around him being different.

Raw and intense
This movie gets a lot of crap and bad reviews but it is an excellent movie. A lot of good acting and good story line. The only thing I don't agree with is the fraud of the director, David Ayers. He served two years in the Navy but acts like he has all of this military knowledge, which he doesn't. This crap directing and military plays are saved by the actors. David Ayers, quit playing video game Soldier and learn something about the military that you obviously do not know.
