“I think this is a brilliant movie, it's called Hero also by Ray and it's just about an actor who gets on a train and what's so great is he's so famous and as he is in the train and he goes to like the restaurant car or the bathroom he runs into different classes of people who tell him the truth. And it's kind of stunning to watch.”

Joel Edgerton

“I'm gonna get this, The Hero. I don't know much about this movie. People keep dropping the name saying I should check it out. And I like the cover. Nothing wrong with liking the cover. If you're a filmmaker, make your cover and your font really good.”
