  • He plays very good in this movie, however this film is boredn I like when he is in the rocks with his friends, so sexy.

  • What is the word he said at 00:38 (spanish like) ? Plz

  • @gigagigot2

    Pinche wedo is kinda like saying fucking white boy

  • Loved the movie, but had to turn the volume down several times so the kids couldn't hear the cursing every few seconds;) CB is such a great actor!! He can make any character come off the page. You really believe he's THAT character...whoever he's playin' at the time. Keep the great movies coming Christian! How about an Equilibrium 2??? Surely somebody could bounce off a great script for that!!

  • He was Awesome in this Movie. I can see how someone like that would come back messed up.

  • Batman is a Gangster in this movie....

  • What a dumb lady--he is not an Iraqi war veteran, he is an Afghanistan war veteran. He even calls it "Trash-Can-istan" at one point when describing his time there.

  • Most Bad Ass Movie EVER!

  • bale has the randy orton haircut in this movie lol

  • Heh heh, pinche guero : )

  • Damn, I remember seeing this movie a few years ago. Christian was seriously amazing in character! It's such a great film!

  • Yawn this VO is painful to listen too.

  • best fuckin movie

  • Hahahaha, the lady narrating sounds fucked up, haha.

  • Awesome movie

  • i can watch this movie a 100 times

  • Christian Bale & Freddy Rodriguez gave an outstanding performance in this movie.

  • Harsh Times is a Hard Core movie. Almost as good as traing day. Its worth watching. Twice!

  • yeah i totally have a boner for christian bale and of course im sure he would have been awesome in training day but ethan hawke was great too without the boner affect lol.

  • IM A SOLDIER OF THE APOCALYPSE.....

  • preqil of harsh times. jim davis in afganastan that would be the best movie ever

  • @TheShart1234 i never really thought about that but thats a good idea. ive seen this movie so many times and it would be cool to see jim davis being deployed and wacking fools in afganastan to show him how crazy he was .

  • Totally forgot he's from the UK...his US accent is so convincing and authentic!!

  • Fantastic movie, many subtleties involving the American culture, the return from the war front, the American society as it is with its wide diversity, and also psychological nuances so well featured by both the script and Christian Bale who is perfect for the role...His interview is even more explicit about this excellent movie, had to watch it three or four times in few days to get all details, all nuances...Five stars really!

  • is bale welsh and if so why does he have an American accent

  • Well,since I've been a fan of his for over 10 years,I can understand why.He's been living in Los Angeles since he was a teenager,when he moved out here with his Dad and sister in order to further his acting career.Christian himself has said in many interviews,that living in L.A. for as long as he has,he had no choice but to pick up an American accent.I agree,I'm born and raised and still reside in L.A. ^__^

  • bale would have done a better job then hawk for sure....hands down

  • U said it

  • @mandown1985 he wouldnt have suited the character

  • this movie could of been so much better! a bored elite ranger wreaking havoc in LA this shit just crys gold for a writer. i would of had a bored US marine looking for someone to fuck up but......

  • @facefilms87

    Actually it's about a tormented former Army Ranger struggling to find work back in his own country as he slowly begins to lose his mind.

  • Comment removed

  • Also, people say Rangers are the same as Marine Grunts. All you have to do to be a marine is go through Basic and advanced training. thats it. 12 weeks of harsh training the rest is just honing your skills for your MOS. Rangers back delta force up on very high profile raids. They do night assaults and raids. The only airborne marines are 1st Force Recon and the first recon battalion. Guess where they complete airborne school at the Army airbone school with us rangers. Army has more logistics.

  • He also toured in Afghanistan he says so in the movie. Rangers are underrated. They are a quick reaction force ready and capable to take on many times more then there numbers. People think Marines are the best, well look what it takes to be a marine and look what it takes to be a ranger. Rangers start off going through basic training AIT then they have to do well enough to attend ranger school then after that they go through 3 weeks at airborne school to get there silver wings.

  • bale could have been good in training day but ethan did that tho...

  • this movie was better then blood in blood out

  • Well, it's kinda a tie.

    But yes both flicks are underrated Crime Dramas

  • what a team it would have been if Bales character in harsh times and Denzels in training day had been paired up haha.. you wouldnt fuck with them

  • Yeah, David Ayer should make a prequel to both films that somehow had Bale & Denzel's characters meet & do some crime business together.

  • VOICE OVER IS SOOOO ANNOYNING

  • man...Bale would have been GREAT in Training Day!

  • @King2123 He was considered for the role, I personally thought he would have made the movie at least 2 times better, I mean Christian Bale and Denzel Washington, Hell Yeah!

  • @King2123 true that, but ethan hawk and denzel are great actors to.

  • @King2123 i dont think he could have played the poor confused rookie in training day, he's way to convincing as the raging psychopath.

  • @King2123

    no he woudn't, Bale is a BOSS denzel is a BOSS an the "rookie, still wet behind the ears" role wudnt have suited him, you cant have 2 alpha's when 1 is meant to be playing a scared rookie

  • @takeahint123 its called being an actor and a very talented one, that is what Christian Bale is...hes a talented actor. He can play anything, whether it be a rookie or a "BOSS" he can play it, dont underestimate the power of a talented actor.

  • @takeahint123 eactly. that's why hawke was a good choice for the role of jake hoyt. you could actually feel how intimidated he was by denzel's manipulative and dangerous alonzo.

  • @King2123 I don't know...he's such a badass that his role could have overshadowed Denzel's.

  • pinchhe guero lol

  • I loved the movie because of Bale! Without Bale the movie would be crap!

  • that's true!

  • WtF = this voiceover!?

  • /watch?v=fFH0khjgA0U

  • The voiceover makes me want to kill myself.

  • HE WAS AFGAN VET MORON!

  • Is the narrator a woman or a very gay guy.

  • bale played a funny gringo.

  • he's a great actor!

  • awesome movie, a little corny with the cop and military lingo

  • Excellent, excellent film.

  • is the narrator the female version of microsoft sam?

  • hahaha! good one julikator

  • i know she should get sacked :)

  • Sounds like the narrator's batteries are about run out. Painful to listen to!!!

  • THIS WOMAN IS SO FUCKING ANNOYING

  • Still csn't believe this voice woman is a real person! Surely there are plenty of other people who could do her job a lot better!

  • chris please stop saying kinda ffs

  • Geeeezis, that narrator needs to lay off the glue sniffing..... little problem with the syntax action in the frontal lobe

    If you want to see an authentic movie about East Los, and how white boy can survive check out "Blood in Blood Out" aka "Bound by Honor"

  • Loved this film (although I can see the point of some of the less than good reviews) I think the ending was brilliant and unexpected xD

  • Loyalty is everything bendeho

  • Bale would have been much better that Ethan Hawke in Training Day

  • I do think Bale is a better actor, but Bale seems more confident than Hawke, so I think Hawke was the better choice for the wet behind the ears role

  • Best movie ever

    But the end was fucking stupid

  • Well if the ending was stupid then its not the best movie ever now is it.

  • best movie ever

  • it's great film but not better than td. td is too awesome.

  • wat the hell is td?

  • he's pure gorgeousness..

  • Bale is a phenomenal actor. He gets so into his characters it's scary. I don't think Keaton can even compare to him, in any movie.

    Keaton's a good actor, don't get me wrong, but he's not as good as Bale is.

  • What are you talking about of course hes smart enough... I think the stupidest shit ever is announcing Christian Bales IQ. That IS the stupidest shit ever and is nobodys fucking business. Oh yeah, and Michael Keaton was a fucking pussy as batman, he really was...

  • great film. And truly amazing performance by Bale.

  • HIS ACCENT HAS CHANGED SO MUCH.

  • during all the promotion he does for each of his films he talks in a similar if not the same accent as his character so that people don't get confused about which character he plays.

    doesn't that just make you love him more?

  • Are you serious? that movie was directed by a man that never read a batman comic.

  • Bale is the man. Ever since I saw "Equilibrium" I've admired his work man. He really played a good PTSD-sufferin' vet in this flick. His bi-polar style was convincing. One of my favorite flicks.

  • dont forget american psycho

  • Amazingly underrated for all his success. I think he'll get his oscar one day.

  • One of the best movies ever. Fuck oscars! In my opinion, not selling out has played a big role in his success. To me Bale is the most consistent AND convincing actor alive.

  • yes indeed. oscars are handed out to mostly mainstream money making movies which suck balls most of the time. this movie is great and way overlooked and underated. i hope it will get its recognition later like fight club did. and i hope young talented filmmakers won't get discouraged by this and won't sellout.

  • I concur!

  • Me dejo boquiabierta cuando habla en español se ve todo matador me gusta como lo habla. YESS!

  • Wow he's so hott ! :) I love his english accent :)

  • It was a great movie, loved his acting

  • great movie

  • i love bale and he can perform outstandingly in absolutely any role, but... some of his movie choices bum me out. i think some of those scripts are the only reason he hasn't gotten an oscar yet :'-( when will they make a role worthy of his acting skills??

  • I DO need to get laid.

  • rite on elwinlwin but im talking about the beat thats bumping when mike is asking jim wat is like to kill someone.

  • does anybody know where i can find the beat that kicks in after the part when he takes the piss test and their crusin to the black dude house with that sick ass piano?

  • cypress hill - mexican rap

  • delinquent rabbits - return of the tres

  • christian bale can play everyone;)

  • out-s-t-a-n-d-i-n-g

  • i really really hate this ladies voice.... aaahhh

  • The more I see of Christian Bale; the more I complete respect I have for his performances. This film must have definitely been under the radar b/c this is a complete & DEEP performance worthy of some serious acclaim. However, I can see why he didn't get the Training Day role. Christian Bale himself naturally has a strength of character& lacks that boyish dewy-green vulnerability/ignorant-to-the-­ways-of-the world to the degree that character needed to have which Ethan Hawke could pull off

  • HE IS SEXYY!

  • That is why I did not watch Training Day, no Bale in that movie. I can't focus pass his face to listen what he sayz.

  • you missed out big time then. td is awesome!!! and you are just narrow minded fan girl. or boy.

  • Believe me I didn't miss ANYTHING.

  • zhit i remember watching this movie

    i didnt know that was christian llol!

    dats kool

  • Christian Bale as Jake Hoyt would have been awesome!

  • fucking amazing movie, one of the best gangster movies of all time, I hated christian bale b4 i watched it. Its insane how believable he is as this crazy ass motherfucker.

  • This movie like all the movies that have preceeded Christian Bale are absolutely fabulous. Bale is one of the most underrated yet most talented actors of his time.

  • I doubt that he is underrated...He's getting the quite good paying roles nowadays(see batman,Terminator,Prestige,Im not there)

  • christian Bale deserved some sort of nomination for this part he was exceptional!

  • Damn, that U.S. Ranger is fucking cool at 00:09! :D

  • "is the woman narator any relation to stephen hawkins? " Lol nice one guysharpe Lmao!

  • is the woman narator any relation to stephen hawkins?

  • You know, I've said this on other ArtisanNewsService videos, but the woman who does the voice over sounds fucking retarded.

  • how much better would training day have been with christian bale instead of ethan hawke???

    Alot better in my opinion!

  • I agree with you, but I think Ethan did a pretty good job. :)

  • Christian Bale's and Freddy Rodrguez's performences ARE the movie, there is pretty much no other reason to watch the over the top movie. Bale should have gotten at least a Golden Globe nomination.

  • ummm okay this ladys voiiiiice

  • lol even the ventrilo voice is more exciting than the narrator's voice

  • Briliant movie, annoying ass narrator.

  • This movie is...over the top, I dont know hot else to describe it. It's amazing in it's complexity, it's meaning, and of course the acting. Not only Christian Bale (my favourite) is exceptional, Freddy Rodriguez also gives an incredible performance. This movie is GREAT.

  • He have to get an OSCAR for that Movie.

    His Acting is a fucking Masterpiece...

    Harsh Times Best of All Time

  • i agree... he does a chicano personation very well...

  • man love his voice! XD

    man he's such an amazing and multi-ranged actor!!

    -LokiHeart

  • You think the narrators voice is bad now, how about this,ITS A GUY. How bad is that, haha.

  • "pinche guero"... haha! He's the best!

  • very very good

  • Looks awesome but the women narrating this sounds so boring, like shes just reading it straight off a sheet. She probs is :P

  • o.0 his voice... it changes from interview to interview. method acting much? lol.

  • grrrr, wtf is up with the narrators voice?

    she sounds doped up.

    Bale Rocks!!!

  • bale is one of the greatest actors EVER

  • This movie is just christian bale proving he can play ANY role magnificently!! He is the greatest actor of this generation bar none, no one better......absolutely no one!

  • whats with the fucking narrator on this vid. Worst reading ever.

  • i love this movie and have it on dvd, christian bale is great in it

  • great film never heard of it till last night

  • just watched the film and it really made an impact on me, ill probably be thinking about it for a few weeks. just cool n getting fucked up n shit.

  • I feel you man, this movie made an impact on me too, especially when the movie starts to end and everything starts to get fucked up like when they go to Mexico.

  • just saw the film, and l liked it, it got better. but l could see why it didnt fair well at the box office. cristian bale alone made the movie. plus the ending scene with him and freddie rodrigues.

  • yeh i just seen it on TV last night, on sky prem +1 its brilliant the ending scene made me quiet upset nearly cryed brillant movie loved it :)

  • if christian bale wasn't in this film i wouldn't have liked it. But he is, and a movie like this is just showing christian bale proving he can play ANY role, and be magnificent at it. He is the best!!!

  • i liked harsh times better than training day

  • Me too.

  • Bale is one of the best contemporary actors and one of the best actors of all time.

  • Easily.

  • he is a top notch loco actor..=P

  • that that bloody narrator again!!!

  • BAle is one of my great stars,video is good,

    from audrey3410

  • great film 10/10

    training day was good too , i think its by the same producer

  • Bale was not miscast, he did a damn good job. He wasn't only playing a gang banger. He had been in the military for a long time and trying to get into the LAPD. He wasn't just some thug selling guns and drugs out of his trunk on the street corner. If that was the case he'd have done it very differently.

  • You are missing the point - the film is not about gangs and guns, it's about one confused man, destroyed by the stupid war. The film is an anti-war drama not a copy of Training Day. And to add, Bale is an outstanding actor, there is no argument about it for sure!

  • Stop cry about training day, compared to harsh times its honestly Shit. Christian Bale is probably todays best actor in the world no doubt.

  • You must be 50 years old using the word "gang-banger" haha

  • awsome movie, but someone shoot this narrator, sounds likes shes got her mouth in her nose

  • lol .. yea

  • out fucking standing!! bale is the man in this flick.

  • Bale is an amazing actor and sooo sexy

    but no joke-the character he plays in this movie is EXACTLY like by bf-it was kinda creepy when we went and watched it together we both wurr in complete shock with the similarities.

  • the best movie in the world!!!!

    the best actor
