Product Description
HARD EASY (DVD/WS/16:9 TRANS/ENG-SDH/ENG/SP-SUB)
Amazon.com
In The Hard Easy, two men with money problems find themselves racing the clock--and each other--to get to a stash of cash that may help dig them out of financial trouble. Paul Weston (Henry Thomas, Gangs of New York, E.T.) is a gambler. Roger Hargitay (David Boreanaz, Bones, Angel) is a stockbroker who has squandered his funds. Through coincidence, they are both recruited by different thugs to rob the same place on the same day. Pop singer Nick Lachey, who makes his feature film debut as Roger's buddy and fellow accomplice, does a nice job in a small role. The actors make for nice eye candy, but it's the grizzled veterans who make the biggest impact. Bruce Dern (The Great Gatsby) and Paul Weller (Robocop) eat up the scenery in their turns as the charismatic puppet masters behind the heist. Though the plot is as transparent as some of the clothes Vera Farmiga (who plays a stunning doctor) wears, the film is on par with Mark Wahlberg's more glamorous The Italian Job: an exciting caper that doesn't make much sense. --Jae-Ha Kim

Sure, it's a genre picture, but a stylishly directed and well acted one. First time helmer Ryan especially gets great performances out of the character actors (Weller and Dern) who haven't had a chance to strut their stuff onscreen like this in years. I do wish Ryan's talents in striking a nice balance between action, noir, and drama had been matched by a smarter screenplay (you want the plot to twist more and not just thicken). However, all in all it's a great showcase for some fine acting (not only by the aforementioned Weller and Dern; Farmiga, Boreanaz, and especially Thomas also come off quite well)and director Ryan, who seems to exhibit the same muscular craftsmanship of a young Sidney Lumet or Michael Mann.
 No masterpiece but it sat well with me March 24, 2008

I loved this! I fall in love with movies for different reasons. In this case, I dug the way David Boreanaz handled himself; the tension packed angst and disgust. The lead character was just funny to me and I got a kick out of Peter Weller, but then I always have. He was a p***k in this flick. I found the plot to be overall enjoyable. Love Bruce Dern too, so I just couldn't lose with this one.
