Why Was "The Hero" Released in the Summer??
"The Hero" is by far Sam Elliot's best acting performance ever. It is heartfelt and real throughout the movie.
The other actors were good and able to keep the movie going throughout.
The 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.)
This is a slow movie with a story. It's not an action thriller so get some popcorn and a drink, sit back, relax and watch it.
My 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.
I believe Sam Elliot will and should get a nomination for Best Actor.
