Hard Times
Walter Hill (The Warriors) made a very impressive transition from screenwriter to director with this Depression story of a street fighter (Charles Bronson) and his promoter (James Coburn) trying to eke out a life in New Orleans. Hill's thoughtful handling of the moral issue—survival versus friendship—and his subtle, evocative camerawork make this 1975 release a hundred times better than it should be.
