"Harsh times" is brilliantly played and keeps the audience riveted for the whole runtime. The start is excellent and the adrenaline level remains constantly acceptable, although the ending gets maybe too gruesome. Christian Bale is one of the best young actors nowadays and this time as well his acting is outstanding (as excellent as in "The Machinist"), Eva Longoria nothing special - acting performance wise - whereas the LA locale is perfectly fitting. At the end of the movie the viewer - amidst many cries - has a sigh because the neurotic won't join the Feds but the overall story works for sure, reminding somehow the recent "Crash".
