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.

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.

April 30, 2008I really liked this movie. The movie at first was very twisted to the point i didn't understand what was happening. I like how they use lines like "revenge is like an airborn disease", it put more drama into the movie. I also like how some of the bad guys, had a good side to them, it put the audiance in their shoes. It's pretty frustrating, because all he wanted to do was impress a girl, when he should of just talked to her, instead of causing big drama. I also liked the images they have in this movie, the bloody roses. It represented what he ws feeling inside.
