May 28, 2011An explosive, adrenaline-fueled and hard-boiled action-packed thriller. A dazzlingly original movie packed with style, suspense and emotionally engaging characters and story. It's intense, gripping, thrilling and deeply moving. A awesome action movie that's one hell of a cool rid... read more

August 3, 2008Dull action-thriller about the vengeance of a hero who tracks down the crooks after he was shot trying to save a bank teller that he falls in love during the robbery. The scenes made me confused and messy up of the past and present in the beginning to before the final shooting.

March 15, 2008Hero Wanted was an alright film. If you will use a recycled plot and put it in your film, you are complied to bring something new to the table and I think 'Hero Wanted' failed to do that. It was the "mild mannered man aka Divine Intervention" all over again and to be honest, I'm ... read more

November 8, 2010Now I know people have been very skeptical of Ray Liota and Cuba as of late, but this movie was pretty good and I really liked it.

November 29, 2009What the hell did I just watch?! This movie was beyond stupid. I've never wished death upon Cuba Gooding Jr, but fuck... in this movie he was DAMN obnoxious. The little girl was fucking annoying too, I like how the filmmakers just slapped a ton of makeup on her to make her look o... read more

July 26, 2008Not too bad a movie...kind stupid ending but at least it was a realistic ending and not what Hollywood makes people think reality of a crime is going to be in life.

June 17, 2008I actually still like Cuba Gooding Jr, even though he's been making some not so good movies lately. This was ok, nothing to exciting and very predictable. But entertaining... I just wish he would be offred some more of the roles he used to play. He's got such great talent.
