Hero Wanted
The hero becomes the hunted.
Academy Award winner Cuba Gooding, Jr. wreaks his own brand of justice in Hero Wanted, an action-thriller co-starring Ray Liotta. Liam Case (Gooding, Jr.) was once a hero, a man who rescued a little girl from a burning car. So when he finds himself in the midst of an armed bank robbery, he sees it as a chance to restore his former glory. Attempting to protect a beautiful teller, Liam's shot down and left for dead. But the robbers soon discover they tried to kill the wrong man. Recovering from his wounds, Liam swears vengeance and begins a hunt of his own, leading to a shocking climax that proves the old adage: heroes are made, not born.

Cuba Gooding Jr is really quite good here. There are enough twists and turns to keep your interest. Ray Liotta also is decent in this movie with out his over acting and really adds to the film. The action is good and the effects are well done. I was not sure how good this would be as Cuba Gooding has made more than a few turkeys but this was worth the rentalThe Hero Has Arrived!! - hotshot69
I really wasn't sure what to expect from this movie reading about it but to my surprise I loved it Cuba does a great job he pulls at your heart strings at times also he is a hero even if it was after doing something bad and Liotta didn't fail at his acting either don't be shocked for what you will see just sit back and enjoy it the plot only get's better and it's got grat action give it a try I bet you will be glad you did.hotshot69WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER HERO... - Ricardo
and in this case, Tina Turner was absolutely right. I had heard and read really bad reviews about this movie, but I figured it couldn't be THAT bad. Well, I admit it, I was wrong, it IS that bad. The writing is bad, the movie fails to engage you, the acting is subpar at best, and the whole premise of the movie is extremely difficult to believe. Ray Liotta portrays his character like a guard in an amusement park more than a homicide detective. Gooding Jr. acts and even speaks like he was a less handicapped man than then one he played in "Radio."
I definitely do not recommend this one
