Harsh Times (0/10)

Director: David Ayer
Genre: Crime / Drama

I could not even begin to explain to you what this movie is about. It vaguely has something to do with a guy in the military who ends up going crazy because of it or something. I see a lot of movies. Like, a LOT. And just as hard as it is for me to give a movie a 10/10, it is probably even harder for me to give a movie a 0/10. I just like movies.

This is hands down, by far, the WORST movie I have ever seen. The acting is absolutely terrible, which I hate because I have really enjoyed Christian Bale up until this point. Christian Bale is not a gangster. He sounds ridiculous in this movie. I feel like the only people who would like this movie would have to either be deaf and blind or some 16 year old white kid who wants to be hardcore.

I'm not sure if it was the "I was at a party, someone offered me a joint, I was sad because I didn't make it into the LAPD, so I inhaled" or the "What if I just punch you in the belly?" after being told his long-time girlfriend is pregnant or the stupid, awful death scene at the end (yes I just gave away the whole movie, but if you were going to go see it anyway, I'm not sure we could be friends anymore...), but something about this movie just made me want to write a letter to David Ayer and ask him to give me 2 hours of my life back. I would rather watch Gigli 15 times in a row than watch this terrible excuse for a film.

If you absolutely MUST watch some of the movie, here is my advice: Watch the first 5 minutes, then turn it off and burn it.
