Loved this movie as a kid! So I watched as a teenager and it was still good. Well now as an adult I say Hard Times ages well. Hill is a great director so Hard Times is not corny, dated etc like many other older movies. The New Orleans setting, back ground actors, and story is the perfect mix for the lead and minor characters. Bronson plays the cool quiet character like Denzel Washington does today. Coburn is the fight promoter who gets into trouble and drive the story. Fighting during a depression to make a living is a great story. The fight scenes are believable, and mix well with the story. Worth watching. 7 stars.
