Western movie hero relives past glory
“The Hero” is a romantic drama starring Sam Elliott (“Tombstone”) as Lee Hayden, an aging actor best known for his roles in Westerns, whose finest performances are long behind him. His days are spent reliving old glories and smoking pot with his former co-star and current dealer, Jeremy (Nick Offerman). When he gets an unexpected cancer diagnosis, he realizes it’s time to sharpen his priorities. He strikes up a relationship with stand-up comic Charlotte (Laura Prepon, “Orange Is the New Black”), attempts to re-connect with his estranged daughter, Lucy (Krysten Ritter), and seeks one final role to cement his legacy.<br /><br />The film itself has a familiar plot, but Elliott provides a quietly moving performance with his silent introspective moments and velvety voice. He shows Lee’s human flaws, particularly the sad distance between himself and his daughter. With an air of a wounded soul, Elliott manages to rivet the viewer with a highly expressive face and that incredible voice.<br /><br />Director Brett Haley has assembled a first-rate cast. Casting Elliott in a role that mirrors the actor’s own life and career gives the movie a resonance and prevents it from being overly sentimental. The film also shows the downside of celebrity — the period when one’s most memorable roles are in the past and hope of achieving that level of fame and popularity is more elusive dream than realistic expectation.<br /><br />Special features on the R-rated widescreen Blu-ray release include audio commentary with writer-director Brett Haley and actor Sam Elliott, and a photo gallery. A digital HD copy is enclosed.
