Synopsis
Hero Wanted (2008) is a crime thriller from director Brian Smrz that you can watch online on iFILM. Garbage collector Liam Case, played by Cuba Gooding Jr., stages a bank robbery so he can rush in and rescue the woman he's fallen for. Nothing goes the way he scripted it.
Instead of playing the hero, Liam lands in a hospital bed while the death of an innocent bystander eats away at him. The film unspools out of order, cutting between the heist and the wreckage around it, each flashback dropping in one more piece the story had been holding back. Ray Liotta turns up as a weary detective, Norman Reedus rides shotgun, and a pack of low-life crooks fills out the rest.
What carries it is the gap between one nobody's clumsy dream and the violence that swallows him. If you like cold, nonlinear neo-noir built from fragments, this one fits. Stream Hero Wanted (2008) online on iFILM.
