The Hero (2017)

The Hero: Directed by Brett Haley. With Sam Elliott, Laura Prepon, Nick Offerman, Krysten Ritter. An ailing movie star comes to terms with his past and mortality.

“u0026quot;The Herou0026quot; is by far Sam Elliotu0026#39;s best acting performance ever. It is heartfelt and real throughout the movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe other actors were good and able to keep the movie going throughout.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe plot was also interesting and had a couple of twists that I did not see coming. (Who was hanged? And the painful stand-up comedy routine.)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is a slow movie with a story. Itu0026#39;s not an action thriller so get some popcorn and a drink, sit back, relax and watch it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy question is the timing of the release. This is an adult, drama and should have been released after school starts. That would put it at the end of the year and closer to Academy Awards time.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI believe Sam Elliot will and should get a nomination for Best Actor.”
