Review of Harsh Times (2005) by Sally L — 28 Feb 2009
This movie could have been so much better had it focused on the perspective of Mike, instead of concerning itself so much about the reasons for Jim's behavior. I say keep Jim an enigma (it would have made him even scarier) and let teh story be about the horror show unfolding before the eyes of Mike.
It's Mike who seems the more honestly conflicted a character than Jim anyway, who's just losing it beyond his control. His psychosis makes him harder to relate to and then it makes the movie harder to invest it.
It could have been a much cooler movie.
