Heroes Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
May 24, 2025
"Heroes" takes Sally Field on yet another cross-country road trip, this time alongside a troubled veteran. The film attempts to inject excitement by including a fast car for part of their journey, making the specter of Smokey and the Bandit complete. Despite boasting the talents of three fine actors, the movie fails to reach its potential. While watchable, it’s not memorable or recommendable, leaving the audience with a sense of unfulfilled promise.
Rob's Movie Vault
Rob Gonsalves
Harrison Ford redeems the middle section of this tripe as a redneck vet who blows off steam by racing cars and shooting his machine gun at night.
New York Daily News
Rex Reed
Henry Winkler has undeniable charm, but I wouldn't advise him to cancel his Fonz contract hastily.
Detroit Free Press
Susan Stark
The same script that regularly strains credulity well past the snapping point also provides a jolly enough vehicle for both Winkler and Ms. Field to break away from type and show the movie audience what they can do.
Los Angeles Times
Charles Champlin
There is some sense of a much smaller, calmer movie interleaved with larger moments, although there is an iron spine of consistency and an accumulating power which is even more evident on a second viewing.
Miami Herald
Candice Russell
Capitalizing on other past hits, the feeble story also takes its cues from the romance and hitchhiking plot of It Happened One Night.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Bob Lundegaard
It tries to say some serious things about what the war did to us as a nation. But it's essentially a mishmash of unfulfilled ideas.
Chicago Tribune
Gene Siskel
The big lie of "Heroes" is that you can make your pain disappear; the truth, I suspect, is that at best one can only suppress or channel one's pain in another direction.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Michele Ross Baird
Anyone who enjoys a good movie will be at least bored by "Heroes," but any person who has suffered through the horrors of combat and who has had to deal with the resulting nightmares' should be offended by it.
Orlando Sentinel
Dean Johnson
Winkler is just trying too hard. It isn't that he's a rotten actor exactly; it's more like you can tell he IS acting. That's a no-no.
San Francisco Examiner
Jeanne Miller
The poorly written script by James Carabatsos and the weak direction by Jeremy Paul Kagan tend to obscure the charm of the two protagonists and to leave a viewer unmoved by their plight.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Desmond Ryan
This is a movie to be valued for its acting... and it directs our attention to an area where many people are not disposed to look.
Arizona Republic
Mike Petryni
A sensitive contemporary love story that doesn't cop out on modern problems.
Variety
Variety Staff
There's a plague in this screenplay, mainly in the Winkler character and the actor's performance.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
Watching Mr. Winkler and Miss Fields "act" is suddenly to understand what television may eventually do to movies.
