Hero Wanted is a 2008 action film directed by Brian Smrz and starring Cuba Gooding, Jr., Ray Liotta, and Norman Reedus. Liam Case (Cuba Gooding Jr.) is a garbage collector and a hero. Several years before, he had rescued a little girl from a flaming car wreck and earned a hideous scar for his effort. But he got his "fifteen minutes", but soon forgotten.
Lost and alone, Liam has turned to alcohol. After stalking a bank teller who reminds him of his wife, he arranges a bank robbery to make him a hero again. The crooks are not willing to rob a bank without the money, they shoot the girl he wanted to ask out. Liam is betrayed and vows to put things right by seeking vengeance against the thieves that put the bank teller in a coma and left him for dead.
I cant say this movie is what I expected. The 1st thing I heard about it was the part of him setting up the bank robbery to look like a hero.. I thought it was going to be a action comedy..its really dramatic and I didnt like how the story was told. The story jumped back n forth from the past and the present which actually makes things confusing. I give it a 5 out of 10.
