A Good Tear Jerker

It's cheesy.

But if you're in the mood for a good tear jerker, this is well done. It's based on the true story of So Wai Wa, paralympian who participated in 3 Paralympics and still holds current records in track, which is quite an accomplishment for a Hong Kong athlete. The struggles of the protagonist and the mother are at the center of the drama. Some very real issues include worrying about the future of a handicapped person after the parents are gone, the bankability of an athlete, equal pay for all athletes, poverty... but for me personally is the responsibility (guilt) of parents of handicapped children that can be felt in this production piece.

Besides the drama, props must be given to the 3 actors who played the young, teenage and adult Do Wai Wa... so good! And the actress who played the mother, all made this drama work brilliantly!

Good Canto drama based on real events!

Not ordinary but extraordinary

Emotionally engaging, entertaining and inspirational.

Can't remember how many years has passed since I've enjoyed a HK movie. Firstly, the movie title Zero to Hero is aptly brilliant. Know from the start what you're in for - a biopic of underdog to wonderboy. Our hero So Wa Wai is Hong Kong's first gold medallist paralympian ... the theme for Chariots of Fire silently goes off playing in my head.

Watched with mum on Netflix today. I cried from start to end, whilst mum cried only in one scene when the hero puts a gold medal over his mother's neck.

Acting is so convincing that one would think if all three newbie actors of different ages portraying the hero are actually handicapped or not. The young child, the school kid and the adult all superbly showcase distinctive facial nuances, voice spasms and movement reflexes of a handicap. And please excuse me, I do not mean to call So Wa Wai a handicap. So Wa Wai is a hero.

HK has always performed well in paralympics. I wish for HKSAR govt to support paralympians even more with the success of this movie bringing to forefront the struggles of paralympians and athletes.

Brilliant! I love it.

Autrocious! The worst Netflix movie I've seen so far

I was fooled into this due to it's 6,7 rating on imdb after 350 votes. This movie is ridiculing paralympics athletes and people with disadvantages.

I've never even seen anything close to this awful mess of a movie.

This is supposed to be a "Biopic tribute to So Wa Wai, Hong Kong's first Paralympic athlete to win gold. Even if you start at a disadvantage, you can still be first across the finish line." Are you kidding me? Even the title is laughable and digusting!

OK, we know Chinese and also Hong Kong-movies can be full of over-acting. But this is absolutely rediculous! I don't know if it tries to be funny, but it's laughably bad. The director must be ret#rded. So must the composer or rather the one putting together the score as well.

Even the editing is rediculous. It's unbelievably bad!

The trailer tries to hide how bad it is, but it slips thrpough, but it'æs first when you have seen 15-20 minutes of the film you realize this is absolute rubbish.

The worst film I've seen in at lest 5 years, and the worst ever on Netflix.

The only thing positive is production value. CGI is bad, but production value is OK.

How anyone can like this is not quite understandable. Even if you have sympathy wth the actors or paralympic athletes, thisfilm is a disgrace to So Wa Wai.

I hope he never sees this, even if I'm sure he is bound to. What an utter disgrace!

If you want a laugh this might be the film. It's that bad.
