People's Hero is a gritty exploration of power dynamics set against the backdrop of a botched bank heist. Sonny Koo, played with a raw intensity, takes charge of a tense hostage situation, showcasing a blend of calm authority and underlying menace. The film balances crime drama with action, featuring practical effects that give it a visceral feel, especially during the chaotic moments of the robbery. It’s interesting how the inexperienced crooks serve as a foil to Sonny’s hardened character, highlighting themes of morality and survival. Pacing is steady, building tension as Sonny manipulates the scenario to his advantage. There’s a certain authenticity to the performances that grounds the film, making it stand out in its era.
