“Harsh Times” Movie Review

“Harsh Times” Plot Summary

A tough-minded drama about two friends in South Central Los Angeles and the violence that comes between them.

Excellent movie

Bale’s performance in Harsh time is phenomenal this besides the machinist and American psycho have to be some of my favourite performances by him

The Chemistry between Freddie and Bale is great it seems like they’ve been ‘homies’ for years very tight friendship so you know how tight they are immediately and it makes you care for them

Bale’s character is a former soldier and he has major issues just imagine a soldier coming back for Vietnam with flash backs and such …pretty much they are never the same mentally again…that is bales character right there it’s much more deeper maybe someone will explain it better then me Freddie’s character is the guy who is a ride or die friend he’ll stick with you to end but he’s also a follower and get’s influenced very easily by bale’s character in the movie…I view it as Bale is like an older brother to him Eva Longoria is freddie’s girlfriend and she loves him to death because pirior Freddie stuck by here and help her out during university or college i can’t remember..All she wants now is for Freddie to get a Job but Bale’s influence always divides freddies focus on handing out his applications..She doesn’t like Bale’s character basically thinks he’s going to get freddie killed just imagine being with your friend throwing around a lot of cuss words but when your talking to someone at a business place you talk proper and not urban slang.. I’d say it’s a violent movie i mean there is some brutal scenes that will feed your violence fix….all in all this movie is pretty damn realistic

    “Fast & Furious” Movie Review

    “The Fast and the Furious 4″ Plot Summary

    Brian O’Conner, now working for the FBI in LA, teams up with Dominic Toretto to bring down a heroin importer by infiltrating his operation.

    Hilarious

    I don’t think this movie is meant to be a comedy, but nearly every scene and every line of dialogue is laughable. I can’t even describe half of the things that made this movie pathetic, since I don’t have the time or desire to write thirty pages. Here are some of the most egregiously bad aspects of Fast and Furious:The Plot: There is a mastermind drug lord who has managed to elude the FBI for years, and he wants to move a bunch of drugs across the border. So instead of just splitting the packages into a few inconspicuous cars and bribing a couple of border officials, or simply flying them across the border in a private helicopter (keep in mind this guy has hundreds of millions of dollars at his disposal), he decides the best way to cross the border undetected is to get a few neon-green and metallic-purple race cars and drive in a pack through the salt plains and then through a mine at 150 mph (yes, a mine, despite the fact that each car rides is designed for street racing and rides about two inches off the ground).

    Then when the drivers get to the location, he tries to kill all of them for no reason. I guess the audience is meant to assume he does this so that he doesn’t have to pay them, but it’s like six drivers, and the packages are worth something around 160 million dollars, so paying the drivers for one night’s work would cost practically nothing. I guess the director felt it was necessary to really pound it into the viewer’s head that he is a bad guy, so that there wouldn’t be any confusion as to who you’re supposed to root for. Also, you find out that he’s done this before, yet he somehow managed to prevent word from spreading that not a single driver he’s ever hired has returned from the job (you’d think that in a relatively close-knit community such as the ‘illegal street racing circuit’ something like this would get around). This is not to mention the fact that Paul Walker is still able to blend into these crime circles despite the fact that dozens of people have found out he was a cop in the last two films. Dialogue: I’m just going to give two awesome examples here:1) Paul Walker: I guess this is where my jurisdiction ends Vin Diesel: And this is where mine begins.2) Girl: Are you one of those boys who prefers cars to women? Vin Diesel: I appreciate a good body regardless of the make. ……… Girl: What do you look for in a woman? Vin Diesel: It starts with the eyes. She has to have those kind of eyes that can see through all the bullshit, to the good inside

    Fast and Furious perpetually insults the viewer’s intelligence. Nearly nothing that happens in the movie is even remotely plausible. It could be mistaken for a very wry parody of stupid racing movies, but sadly, it just is one.

    “The Fast and the Furious” Plot Summary

    An undercover cop infiltrates an underworld subculture of Los Angeles street racers looking to bust a hijacking ring, and soon begins to question his loyalties when his new street racing friends become the prime suspects. add synopsis

    Comes at you Fast AND Furious

    The Fast and the Furious comes at you like it says. It’s not a long movie and really never slows down much at all! Those looking for a movie delving into a complex plot with in depth charachters need not watch it. The movie is as the preview shows, a lot of great car chase scenes held together by a loose form of a plot. It does what Gone in 60 Seconds only wishes it could do. In gone in 60 you have 2 scenes with cars driving fast at all. Here you have at least 6 or 7 distinctly different and memorable scenes. Although acting ability and some of the lines lack severely, this can be forgiven and is made up by the cars. This movie is perfect for anyone into speed and tuned import sports cars for the most part(yes, even the occasional despicable economy car made to ‘perform’ is present)I saw the previews knowing this was going to be basically an adrenaline rush of a movie, and I gave it a 10 because that’s what it delivered.

    “Street Kings” Movie Review

    “Street Kings” Plot Summary

    Tom Ludlow is a veteran LAPD cop who finds life difficult to navigate after the death of his wife. When evidence implicates him in the execution of a fellow officer, he is forced to go up against the cop culture he’s been a part of his entire career, ultimately leading him to question the loyalties of everyone around him.

    Solid action pic

    Okay, let’s face it. The credibility factor in almost ALL action flicks is questionable at best. If you really took the time to analyze the logic behind the story, you’d come up short. But, by definition, action pics are just that — heavy on the action, and not so heavy on the logic that supports the story. With this in mind, Street Kings is a solid, well-executed action flick that has all the right ingredients: a non-conformist hero you WANT to root for; a never-let-up story that keeps you riveted to the end; and a stylish, fast-paced visual smorgasbord that delivers from start to finish

    Yes, the story falls short — you’ll find yourself asking questions like ‘Why did the undercover cops that Tom Ludlow (Keanu) kill want to eliminate Detective Washington if they weren’t part of Det. Wander’s crew to begin with?’ Yeah, it does get a little dicey if you think it through — but if you DON’T bother getting bogged down in the minutia, it works. Contrary to much of the published critique of the movie, I think Keanu brings exactly what is needed to the role — he’s vulnerable, jaded, broken… and invincible. What more could you want in a solid action pic??
