One Man's Hero

DIRECTED BY: Lance Hool

REVIEWED: 10-04-99

Besame blarney stone! This is the true account of a group of Irish immigrants who deserted the American army to fight for Mexico during the Mexican-American War. This is also a very lame movie that plays like a mediocre television mini-series (and not one of those cool TNT ones -- this would probably air on UPN). Low-budget leading man Tom Berenger's acting is beyond wooden -- it's petrified. When he tells his Latina lover "you are Mexico," I was thinking, "You are wretched." A film critic should get time-and-a-half for watching this malarkey (Editor's note: No).
