The Hard Hit

Truly unwatchable.

Please don't be fooled by the early rating. This is really bad and it doesn't get better. They make you enter six hundred characters to submit a review, but there is nothing else to say. There is nothing that redeems this movie. Not the script, not the acting, not the production, not the soundtrack, not costumes - literally nothing.

About the acting - the lead in this movie and the impact to the entirety of the crew that support the movie industry are two good reasons to the hate the AI clause of the proposed SAG contract.

I hope you find a better way to spend 80 minutes.

I love Richard T Jones in The Rookie so I was looking forward to this. He's only in it for about 3 minutes by the way and the rest of it looks like a student movie.

The concept has been done many times before. There's nothing new here.

The acting is appalling (especially by the lead actor). To say it is wooden would be generous.

Terrible script, terrible acting, terrible soundtrack, terrible directing, terrible stunts...you get the idea.

I'll tell you what this movie reminds me of: a low budget parody of a 1980's porn movie. There's a knock at the door, a buxom blonde answers the door and says "You must be the plumber". "Yes I am the plumber". That's kind of the level of acting on display here.

Save yourself the disappointment and find something else to watch.

Don't be fooled by the 10 ratings. Obviously that was seeded by the movie team. The 1 ratings are the authentic reviews. The acting is horrendous and cheap. Most of the time, the actors have a slight smirk on their face as if trying to make themselves look tough and unafraid. Their expressions don't seem real and it reminds you that they're acting, really bad acting. The music score at times doesn't really vibe with the scenes. The fight scenes don't seem realistic. You can actually see the step by step in the choreography with the pauses. The plot sounds good but is executed poorly. The camera work looks like a school project for cinematography.

If you were lucky enough to have seen 'The Lawnmower Man' (not the Stephen King version), directed by Murda Pain (no, I'm not joking), then congrats. You've seen one movie that is worse than 'The Hard Hit'. There is absolutely nothing about this movie that isn't terrible. I literally got up to use the bathroom in the beginning, during the scene where the Irish guy is with his family in the front yard. I was certain that this was a commercial for some sort of medication. The acting was atrocious, the dialogue worse. Even the music was embarrassing. I watched about 15 minutes before turning it off.

I've literally never give reviews but this movie was so bad they should've paid me to watch it. There's no chemistry between all the characters and literally it looks like a five-year-old wrote it. If you want to do yourself a favor don't waste any more time than reading this review Because you're gonna be sorely disappointed. I'm very worried about the fact that I'll never be able to get the time back that I spent watching this horrible piece of work I should've get out my video camera and go ahead and film a movie because if somebody's getting paid for this junk I wish it was me I hope this helps somebody out.
