Movie Reviews

The New Yorker - 8/10 by Pauline KaelA powerful, brutal film containing a definitive Charles Bronson performance.
Slant Magazine - 8/10 by Glenn Heath Jr.Hard Times feels most like a brilliant prerequisite to the cinema of Michael Mann, a focused neo-western where the last man standing is the one truest to himself.
CineVue - 6/10 by Adam LowesHard Times may not have grown in stature to the extent where it will be mentioned by fans in the same breath as the director’s more revered titles, but it’s certainly worth a punt and is an absolute must for Hill completists.
