To
celebrate the region 4 release by Roadshow Home Entertainment of the
action thriller Harsh Times we have five copies to give away.
Haunted by nightmares from his
murderous military past, the honourably discharged Jim (Christian Bale)
spends his time between his impoverished fiancée in rural Mexico and
cruising the streets of east L.A., with his buddy Mike (Freddy
Rodriguez).
They fool Mike’s girlfriend (Eva Longoria) into thinking he’s
actually dropping off resumes. Homeland Security meanwhile wants to
recruit Jim for some special ops, but first he has to pass a urine test.
This is the directorial debut of David Ayer, who wrote TRAINING DAY.
Christian Bale delivers, as usual, a towering performance: growing
progressively more disturbed as the film goes on, he weeps, roars,
struts, shouts and flips out, maintaining audience sympathy all the
while. |
