Hero

Homicide detective Danny O'Brien (Norris) is known simply as "Hero" for having brought down L. A.'s most vicious serial killer: Simon Moon (Jack O'Halloran), a.k.a. "The Terror." But for years, O'Brien has secretly been haunted by the fact that his capture of Moon was a fluke. When The Terror escapes from jail and * to his old killing ways, O'Brien finally gets the chance to earn his glorified reputation if his monstrous enemy doesn't destroy him first!

Due to Chuck Norris getting good performance reviews for the superb Code of Silence, it was decided to make a film that demands him to act a little, and here he plays a tortured and sensitive character. He acts really well, and to be honest that's the main reason to watch this otherwise passable thriller which only picks up in the last thirty minutes. The first hour is mainly concentrated on the relationship between Chuck and his pregnant girlfriend. It's not a great Norris film, but passes the time adequately.
