Accidental Hero
Redemptive drama starring Dustin Hoffman.
Plot
Dustin Hoffman plays a petty criminal dubbed the "angel of flight 204" after rescuing several people. Then someone else takes credits for his noble deeds...
Verdict
First and foremost a highly enjoyable crowd-pleaser, despite some plodding direction and laboured point-making about TV news and the nature of fame and heroism, this has Garcia and Davis as their usual beguiling selves and an ending guaranteed to raise a smile.
