john h Hard Eight is by no means a terrible directorial debut. It certainly doesn't compare to the rest of PTA's works, but you can still sense that his style was certainly born with Hard Eight - an experience that is just as jaw dropping as the seemingly inextricable, dark turn for our characters and the price of sacrificing for a loved one. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/03/25 Full Review thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, o filme tem cenas de fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é mais ou menos e ninguém melhora o filme, os personagens sao ruins, e faltou muitas cenas para o filme ser bom. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/22/25 Full Review Christian K Can see and feel the original PTA juice backed up by strong acting and a original story. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/25 Full Review Isa B Sydney or "Hard Eight" is the outstanding first feature length film from the career of Paul Thomas Anderson. Anderson got everything he wanted pertaining to final cut with this picture, but one thing he didnt get was the name. The studio insisted onncalling the film Hard Eight and Mr. Anderson reluctantly agreed. The film is still widely referred to by the director's chosen title. I absolutely love this picture. Philip Baker Hall was marvelous as Sydney. He is such an underrated talent. If anyone doubts his greatness, please do yourself a favor and watch Secret Honor by the legendary Robert Altman. That is the film where P.T. Anderson first saw Mr. Philip Baker Hall. A match made in heaven, if you ask me. Hall was also brilliant in Anderson's other films, Boogie Night and Magnolia. Anyway, I digress. John C. Reilly and Samuel L. Jackson were fantastic in their respective roles as well. This is a very good film and I highly recommend it. 90/100 Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review alan g Sick movie about trashy individuals. Waste of talent except Paltry who couldn't act her way out of a wet paper bag.
