Editor's Review of Tragic Hero – 5/10
Despite a brilliant cast of Chow Yun-fat, Andy Lau and Carina Lau, Tragic Hero is a slow paced lifeless movie that fails to engage the audience and is boring to watch. The story is basic and grim with minimal characterization and no scope for the actors to shine. A big disappointment after the success of Rich and Famous.
