Editorial Review: Product Description: A cagey crook learns a lesson in life when an impster takes credit for his act of heroism. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 12/07/2004 Starring: Dustin Hoffman Geena Davis Run time: 118 minutes Rating: Pg13 Amazon.com: Dustin Hoffman plays a lowlife who happens upon a plane crash and rescues the passengers, but doesn't really care about the value of his deed or the attendant publicity when the media starts searching for the hero. Another fellow (Andy Garcia) steps into the gap and claims credit, and as his life changes for the better he takes on a messianic glow. Geena Davis is the cynical television reporter who pushes the latter's fame in order to keep her story alive, and this film, directed by Stephen Frears (Prick Up Your Ears), takes a few familiar jabs at a manipulative and voyeuristic press. This is essentially an unofficial remake of Meet John Doe, though it is less dramatic and forceful in the end than Frank Capra's classic. Chevy Chase has an oddly anachronistic part as Davis's editor (maybe he thought he really was in Meet John Doe), but the film belongs to Hoffman, who makes his character a slightly cleaned-up version of the actor's own Ratso Rizzo in Midnight Cowboy. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - HERO is a wonderful Film!Hero with Dustin Hoffman,is an excellent and highly entertaining film. It is sad that I had to search high and low to find this film, as it is no longer at Blockbuster type stores to rent or available to purchase in Chain retailers, so I am thankful that Amazon had it available for me to purchase. This movie's main characters are all very unlikely heros but turn out to be way more then we the viewer could ever imagine them to be. A plane crash sets a chain of events into motion that ...

I have spent quite some time in getting this film on DVD, which is not available in an open market. Then, yesterday, I finally got a chance to see it once more. Once again, it did not disappoint me as I really enjoyed watching this movie. It is both humorous and full of good drama. And, I enjoyed the acting on Dustin Hoffman's part as he was delirious, especially his use of "pardon ...

Rating: - OMG you won't believe how good this is!!Seriously one of our all time favorite movies. Never heard of it when it came out and saw it for the first time about a year ago and knew it was a classic that would be watched over and over again in our house. Acting is over the top great. Keeps you glued to your seat with an amazing plot. Rating: - Andy Garcia is yummyMost of the reviewers are commenting on Dustin Hoffman's character. The one to watch in this movie is Andy Garcia. You just want to wrap him up and take him home. What a cutie. This movie is worth watching. It is a fun, "feel-good" movie. Geena Davis is also great. Browse for similar items by category:
