About this movie

Bronson plays an itinerant bare-knuckle street fighter in the 1930s who makes his living beating the brains out of those foolish enough to think they can take the graying tough guy. Coburn is the New Orleans promoter who arranges illegal bouts for Bronson, and Ireland has a fling with the fighter.

If you ever liked watching down to earth, believable action thrillers, you've got to see this one. I'm 72 years old and saw this movie, decades ago and absolutely loved it. Charles Bronson hooks up with James Colburn and the fist of steel, along with the caresmatic and confident dual, show real friendship and loyalty, even after going through real Hard Times, in the deep south. This film is action filled, yet manages to reveal a soft and caring heart, from the toughest of men, back then.

Besides the Death Wish series, Hard Times is truly amazing. Can't never get tired of this film. Also recommend Death Hunt.

CB & JC are 5★ actors... They make it a Grand Film, not an automatic 5★s. Main characters acting, up to their standards (4.5) Story is plausible although not new (4.0). Script is better than average, only (3.5). Direction, v/exceptional (4.0). As a Whole, Rated as total/average above (16.0/4.0) & how I Like/Enjoy film, (5.0). 4.5★s. Saw this one several times in movie-houses when new, good then & good enough to buy now. Top 5 films with CB as lead character. Enough Said. //Mic Pete Cl;-)~ Ririe, Idaho USA
