Watch Lone Hero For Free

The greatest movie ever made..!

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Like most here, I stumbled across this movie by accident and am glad I did.Robert Forester is great, and Sean Patrick Flannery does a good job as the "Lone Hero," but for me Lou Diamond Phillips stole the show.His portrayal of a bad guy was anything but routine. His character is complex as a truly bad "bad guy" bordering almost on the unbelievable. A real cold-blooded killer with no compunction at all in killing people-cops or anyone else he chooses, he also possesses a genuine sardonic sense of the world he lives in. He bring an edge of humor into what could have been a run-of-the-mill murderer.The humorous overtones carry through his every action and are reflected in his continued attempt to gain empathy from Flannery's character. One could almost say he is playing Satan. He enjoys his evil life style and tries over and over again to corrupt Flannery.I suspect Lou Diamond Phillips enjoyed this roll and was allowed by the director to shape the character himself.His evil is an attractive evil and yet you know that if Flannery let's up or goes along with Phllips, Phillips' character would kill him in a second.I really enjoyed this movie.Oh yeah, and the gun play/Western style shoot-em-up tone of the movie makes this one a keeper. Recommended.

This movie was shot on the same set as "The Wild One" 1953 Marlon Brando, yeah? It really looks like it. I don't know for sure, can anyone confirm? Motorcycles, small town set, someone help me here. Even the bar looks the same. The storefronts, everything. If it is the same set, what a poor tribute to the original. Most folks these days have not seen that movie, but it is a classic. Brando with his hat skewed, 50 years before Ashton Kutcher did it on "Punk'd". Black and white movies at their best. Beers cost coins. James Coburn is a young punk. Bikers are hep cats. Can't tell if Brando is a beatnik in a leather jacket or Hollywood just wanted the best of both worlds.

I saw parts of this movie on HBO while flipping between channels looking for something worthwhile to watch. I thought this made for HBO movie was far from what I was looking for. After seeing parts of it probably half a dozen times and being drawn in, I finally sat down and watched it from beginning to end.This movie has a straightforward simple plot. At a glance it looks like "Hollywood stock" and the average back cover synopsis at the movie store wouldn't lead you to believe different. But, this film is of higher quality. The writing is good, even witty. The acting is good. The action is a vehicle to the plot, not center stage. It is a light, benevolent, and heroic movie, with action as its backdrop.Unfortunately I haven't seen anything else written or directed by Ken Sanzel that was worth the time to watch it.

Lone hero succeeds in being more than just a fun, hard hitting action movie in two ways:Firstly, the basic plot achieves a campy send up to the classic western, here with the action transported to a contemporary wild western town.Secondly, Mr. Sanzel has jeweled well formed characters with exceptional dialogue. The intelligence, and humor of the character's lines really heightened the effect of the pounding action scenes, as well as electrifying the dramatic scenes. Often I found myself just waiting to hear what this or that person was going to say next. The verbal chess matches between the hero and his nemesis were as charged as the excellent battle scenes. The overall effect was dynamic, energized and palpable characters in extraordinary circumstances.Many great performances by lead and minor actors. Of particular noteworthiness is Robert Forster.This movie is a hard hitting, pulsating treat for the eye and the brain.
