Walter Hill's colorful directorial debut has quite a cult following for its toughness and violence; it may well be his best film, in fact. Charles Bronson plays a silent street fighter in New Orleans in the '30s managed by the cool James Coburn. Jill Ireland, Strother Martin, and Michael McGuire costar 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. An added bonus is the love and affection displayed by the real-life husband and wife team of Bronson and Ireland. --Bill Desowitz

Definitely one of Bronson's best. James Coburn also fits in perfectly. They both put on an amzing show. Very entertaining to watch no-nonsense, down-to-earth "Chaney" going about his business!!

Wish a reivew had alerted me, but I should have checked the aspect ratio before purchase anyway. The movie is pan and scan other than the credits. A real rip-off. I'm not waiting to rate the movie, guess I'll do that whenever I get to SEE the whole thing. Whatever the strengths of the movie, DO NOT BUY THIS DVD PRODUCT.

HARD TIMES strays from Bronson's shoot-'em-up formulas, although it does have its share of action sequences. But this film is more a gritty period piece and a low-key character study. Its enigmatic central character plays to Bronson's tight-lipped, no-nonsense ... Read More

Charles Bronson, best known for his Death Wish movies, stars as Chaney, a lone wolf who travels from town to town to make some quick cash by fist fighting. Along the way he hooks up with an illegal street fight promoter and hustler named Speed (James Coburn). They make some cash, but Speed's carelessness with his money gets him into trouble with some local thugs.
This is a wonderful film set in 1933 New Orleans. The character's are richly developed and played wonderfully. The location is fantastic, ... Read More

This depression era film captures the era brilliantly. The story is good and believable, involves the trickery and honor amongst junior gangsters, and provides lessons in the values of honesty, perseverance, determination.
James Coburn is priceless as supporting actor, as is Strother Martin, fresh off the set of Burch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. My favorite scene is when he boxes with Bob Tessier, the reputed unbeatable street fighter (Which is the European name of the film) and realistically ... Read More
