Editorial Reviews

Also known as The Streetfighter, Hard Times stars Charles Bronson as Chaney, an aging bare-knuckle boxer, trying to scratch out a living in the middle of the Depression. "Speed" (James Coburn) is the two-bit promoter who books Chaney in the tank towns of the South and Midwest. He is briefly reinvigorated by an affair with the lovely Lucy (Jill Ireland, Mrs. Bronson in real life), but it's back to the seedy realm before too long. Hard Times represented the directorial debut of Walter Hill, who even at this early stage demonstrated the gritty verisimilitude that he'd bring to such future projects as The Warriors (1979) and 48 Hrs. (1984). Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

March 21, 2004: This movie has it all...the pain and suffering from the depression, loneliness, the addictions of the characters, the feeling hope and even the thrill of victory, yet the victory is just surviving in those troubled times. The hero(Chaney) even though he doesn't have much, he is a person who cares. He gives up a lot of what he has earned to take care of his friends and takes only what he needs. Even the guitar instrumental at the end of the movie lends a poignant touch to the story. Charles Bronson(Chaney) is definitely in his prime and possibly at his best. He has a superb supporting cast in James Coburn(Speed), Strother Martin(Poe), and Jill Ireland(Lucy).
