The Hard Truth is a 1994 American action crime thriller film directed by Kristine Peterson and starring Eric Roberts, Michael Rooker and Lysette Anthony.
A recently suspended cop blackmails an electronics expert to help him steal $3 million from his girlfriend's boss, a corrupt councilman with ties to the mob.
David Rooney of Variety gave the film a negative review and wrote that it "provides few surprises but should prove serviceable enough as video fare".[1]
Glenn Kenny of Entertainment Weekly graded the film a C− and wrote that director Peterson "pads The Hard Truth with pointless action scenes and sexual interludes that stretch this should-have-been-80-minutes trifle to 100".[2]
