Tragic Hero just didn't do much for me. The plot relies too heavily on Rich and Famous and, while there is a flashback at the beginning, will most likely leave those who haven't seen it confused. Even if the viewer isn't confused, they'll most likely become bored. The movie moves at a snail's pace. It doesn't help matters that the script uses most every Triad movie cliché in the book. Tragic Hero's only saving grace is a monstrous gunfight at the end (featuring dual rocket launchers) that some people say was the inspiration for the finale in A Better Tomorrow 2 -- but one good gunfight really can't justify wading through sixty minutes of crap to get to it.
