SYNOPSIS
From the creator of TRAINING DAY comes HARSH
TIMES, a gritty look at friendship, loyalty and
ambition set on the extremely rough streets of south
central Los Angeles.
Jim Davis (Christian Bale) is an ex-Army Ranger
recently discharged from the military, yet still
haunted by nightmares of his former occupation.
While seeking a position with the LAPD that will
allow him to marry his Mexican girlfriend and bring
her to the United States, Jim kills time chilling with
his best friend, Mike (Freddy Rodriguez).
Mike is feeling the heat from his longtime girlfriend,
Sylvia (Eva Longoria): either get a job or get out. But
the love of a beautiful woman can't compare to the
bonds of friendship, and Jim and Mike are soon
cruising the streets of South Central, slipping back
into a deceitful life of drugs, violence and petty
crime, just like when they were kids. Christian Bale
("Batman Begins"), Freddy Rodriguez ("Six Feet
Under") and Eva Longoria ("Desperate
Housewives") star in HARSH TIMES, written and
directed by David Ayer ("Training Day," "The Fast
and the Furious").
