Pay attention
I actualy just finished watching this movie on Showtime...I read alot of the reviews on here and I noticed alot of you didnt pay enough attention. for example, Jim was offered a job with Home Land Security not the F.B.I.,....anyhow, I bought this movie over Training Day...That should give you a clue of why I'm rating this a five star movie...Except for nobody really says pisto anymore..

Bale and Freddy are great in this one.
This flick touches my soft part, I can really relate to Jims (Bales) Character. Im a former soilder myself and have been witness to similiar situations in combat that have really left a post tramatic impression on me. Thank god I have had alot of support from my family and friends, unfortunatly that is not the case with Jim. He has no family whatsoever other then his surrogate brother portrayed exceptionally by Freddy Rodriguez. He is alone, frustrated with his life, and is a deeply troubled individual. He is in search of happiness but rejects it when it is knocking on his door. He has a chance to marry his beautiful girlfriend but choses a life of violence in joining a special op task force for the homeland security dealing with drug cartels in south america. This flick can be disturbing at times, not for the faint of heart, but it is really realistic in the portrayal of friendship, loyalty, and true brotherhood. I give David Ayer props for this gutsy story he has written and directed. I have to say that this movie is almost good as Training Day which he wrote as well. He is a talented up and coming director. Deserving of 4.5 stars but I gave it 5 because of the connection that I had with Christian Bales character. Its a great movie that is underated and probably misunderstood. I highly reccomend.

Harsh Times Is A Great Flick
If you don't think this movie is any good, I would hate to know the movies you would like. This is the most underrated movie I've seen in a while. Christian Bale has become one of my favorite actors. I love him in absolutely everything I see him in. And this movie is no different. He seems to embody his characters in such an intense way, it can be scary, and he doesn't disappoint here. For being an Englishman, he does American better than most American actors. I thought the script was well written, and the supporting actors did a good job. That Desperate Housewives chick didn't even get on my nerves.

Harsh Movie is more like it.
The PQ and AQ are very nice. Too bad HD DVD died. This movie should have died. I am a huge fan of Christian Bale and have enjoyed all his other movies. This movie is not very good. Bale does the best he can do with this weak plot and weak script. You may want to pass this by.
