Harsh Times

FYI: this is an older post that was moved from my myspace.com account.

I can’t even begin to describe how horrible this movie was! 10 minutes into this movie I trying to find any excuse to get up and get out. If you go online and read the movie reviews you will see the critics loved this movie.

“Christian Bale was in his best role ever!“, “Christian Bale can act and be just about anyone!“

Is this enough to say a movie was good? As an actor, if you make a character in movie come to ‘life’ does that make the movie worth watching? Fuck no. Geeze… King Kong played his role well, however the movie was too lonnnnggg. No mater how much icing Bale puts on his character in the movie, it’s still a turd. It’s just now a turd with icing.

The premises of the movie… I’m not sure really what it was. It seems this ex-army ranger (Bale) makes one super fucking huge mistake after another. And he drags his friend along for the joy ride. Some of the reviews were stating “It’s about time that someone showed how life is in East L.A.”

So, what you’re telling me, that it’s common for a hottie (Eva Longiora) to spend all day at work earning a living while her husband is out bar hopping, going to Mexico, and selling stolen weapons all day? Hmm.. Sign me up!

I’ll try not to spoil the ending… Bale dies. Only issue with this, he should have been killed 20 minutes into the movie.
