| Reel Film ReviewsDavid NusairThe script (by director Ken Sanzel) is surprisingly intelligent, with several instances of clever dialogue and serious moments that don't feel awkward or out of place. |
| User ReviewJeffery WSurprisingly good movie. It is definitely low budget, but very well done with some recognizable talent. |
| User ReviewDeb SSurprisingly good movie. It is definitely low budget, but very well done with some recognizable talent. |
| User ReviewThomas Swanted to see a non bullshit action smacktalking movie once. this came at hand. seen it multiple times after that:)Lou Diamond Phillips rocks as a bad guy |
| User ReviewKerstin SI had this film for a few months and didn't feel any urge to look at it. I thought it would be just another biker movie. But it wasn't. As a lover of old western movies this was in my taste. Western with bikes, Lou Diamond Philips is really good as the villain and Sean Patrick Flanery is always good. Shooting, fighting, car chasing and on several occasions also very funny. This is a film in my taste, if you like the old western films with bad guys v/s good guys, this is a good film to see. |
| User ReviewPatrick RIt's simplistic, a total guy flick and a great B movie. I found it fun and Lou Diamond Phillips is pretty funny as a biker. Well done action. |
| User ReviewPrivate UA pretty sweet modern western.. I really liked it! |
| User ReviewRonnie SI don?t think you?re as tough as I am mean John is an extra at a local cowboy reenactment in a small southwestern town. There isn?t much in this town so people generally appreciate what they have. A biker and his friend roll into town and start causing trouble. When the biker robs the local bar, John takes it upon himself to arrest the biker. When the biker?s gang arrives in town to save him before he goes to trial, John will have to become a real life hero. ?They?re going to roll into town, tear it up and rip it down.? Ken Sanzel, director of Scar City, Dodge City, Num3ers, and Nomads delivers Lone Hero. The storyline for this film was entertaining and better than mediocre for the action genre. The settings were interesting and the characters were well presented. The cast includes Lou Diamond Phillips, Sean Patrick Flannery (Boondock Saints), Robert Forster, and Tanya Allen (Silent Hill). ?I have some chiba in my car. Do you want to kill some time?? The Lone Hero is a movie I came across while flicking through the channels on Cinemax. The storyline seemed interesting and I have a soft spot for action pictures. I found this picture to be a unique take on the genre along the lines of Road House. This film is for action film junkies only; but for fans of the action genre, I recommend seeing this picture. ?You stopped him with a gun loaded with blanks?? Grade: C+ |
| User ReviewPavel BThe movie took a surprising turning point from ordinary to a bit over average, especially according to the last scenes which were very entertaining! OK western! |
| User ReviewGianluca PHonest "action" movie, with an effective villain performed by Lou Diamond Phillips. Somehow well known the plot, but good for spending some times in a straight way. No tricks allowed :) |
