Movie review - "Hard Times" (1975) ***

 Looks beautiful. New Orleans, period detail, photography. The script is simple but effective. It's very easy for Charles Bronson, maybe. He beats everyone he fights, does get dumped by Jill Ireland but he's not that in to her. A greater threat may have helped.

Lovely acting. A family feel oddly - Bronson, James Coburn, Strother Martin, even Ireland. 

Maybe the baddies needed to kill Ireland. Or Martin. That might've given it more kick.

But a good movie.
