Local Hero Ratings & Reviews

  • Mister ArnMay 15, 2025
    If you are looking for action and excitement, you will not find any in "Local Hero." It's a character study with a slight comic twist and a script that makes it work. If you like movies about people, then this is a movie you might enjoy, I did.
