"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
Hero | 1992 | PG-13 | - 1.4.4
Dustin Hoffman becomes a reluctant hero when he saves Geena Davis, but Andy Garcia takes the credit.
SEX/NUDITY 1 - A couple of romantic kisses between Davis and Garcia, but nothing more happens. Davis shows some cleavage in a low cut evening gown.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - The plane crash is pretty scary. People are shown bloody and bruised. There is also a scene in a prison where threats of bodily injury are bantered about, and there's some pushing and shoving. A suicide by jumping off a tall building; nothing is shown.
LANGUAGE 4 - The F-word is uttered a few times, other less intense profanities are also used, but not frequently.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Honesty. Knowing what is really important in life: Your family.
MESSAGE - Being honest is the best way to go, but sometimes a white lie can be more helpful to the overall good. You may not think you could ever be a hero, but everyone could when the chips are down. don't judge by appearances.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
Gladiator II - 2.7.2
Wicked: Part I - 3.4.2
Bonhoeffer: Pastor. Spy. Assassin. - 1.5.3
Emilia Pérez - 6.6.7
