Both of the previous times my review was deleted for unknown reasons. So, I'll just say this, this movie is not worth buying.

Hello... This is a movie! Entertainment! Not real life. You probably believe everything you hear on the news, too.

The deleted scenes that didn't make sense, the bits of the screenplay that didn't sound right or play properly: all the detritus of "Training Day" and for that matter "Swat" and "Dark Blue" which Ayer also penned. <br />The extraordinary Christian Bale ("The Mechanist") stars as Jim Davis, recently released from the Armed Forces and suffering from alcoholism, drug addiction and a tub full of psychoses too numerable to name. In other words: Jim Davis is a mess which in itself might be interesting had Ayer written anything interesting for Bale to perform as well as for his sidekick Freddy Martinez ("6 Feet Under") as Alonzo. Bale is a master at this type of role: the edgy loner, the criminally insane, the outsider who has no hope nor any desire to "come in"...but the guy needs something to work with. Eva Langoria is wasted as Alonzo's shrew wife. <br />"Harsh Times" is a major disappointment: full of ugly violence, devoid of cogent character motivation and rife with repulsive racial slurs. Avoid this turkey at all costs. <br /> Rating: 1 / 5 David Ayer, the director of “Harsh Times” also wrote the screenplay for the audacious, Denzel starring “Training Day” and from the look and feel of “HT” it seems that Ayer used all the stuff leftover from “HT.” The deleted scenes that didn’t make sense, the bits of the screenplay that didn’t sound right or play properly: all the detritus of “Training Day” and for that matter “Swat” and “Dark Blue” which Ayer also penned.

How He has not even been nominated for an Academy Award is Beyond Me. <br />This Movie has a Deeper meaning than what is seen at face Value. It brings to screen the real truth of what a soldier goes through after facing Combat. Sadly I feel, many of our Iragi Vets.. will be like the character in Harsh Times. <br /> <br />Please See this Movie .... Christian Bale is wonderful.....

A half an hour into the movie I was thinking - OK this should start getting good, No. There was no plot!! I waited and waited, but nothing happened. I should have known it was going to be some garbage because the theater only had 2 showings. Terrible. Waste of time and money. <br /> Rating: 1 / 5 This had to be the worst movie I have ever seen in my life.
