Héros (2007) - film review
Bruno Merle
Thriller

Summary
Pierre Forêt is funny, but not
funny enough, and that’s his problem. He once had dreams of
becoming a great comedian, instead of which he works as a warm-up act
for TV shows. Now the joke has worn very thin. Pierre
cannot sleep. He is at the end of his tether. He has had
enough. So, he does what any self-respecting failed comedian
would do in his position. He goes out, kidnaps pop idol Clovis
Costa and locks him up in his bedroom. But what’s the punch line?
