"Love Hurts" tries to be a throwback to '70s exploitation cinema with a modern twist, but it ends up being a messy, tone-deaf film. Ke Huy Quan, fresh from his Oscar-winning performance in "Everything Everywhere All at Once," plays Marvin Gable, a former hitman turned realtor. Ariana DeBose, who shone in "West Side Story," is Rose Carlisle, Marvin's long-lost flame. The chemistry between them is nonexistent, making their romance hard to believe.
The action scenes, which should be the highlight of any action-comedy, are poorly choreographed and lack energy. Even with Eusebio's background in stunt coordination, the fights feel forced and unoriginal. The script, penned by Matthew Murray, Josh Stoddard, and Luke Passmore, is threadbare and lacks depth, making the characters feel like cardboard cutouts.
Sean Astin, known for his roles in "The Goonies" and "Lord of the Rings," is wasted in a minor role, and Mustafa Shakir's poetic hitman, Raven, is reduced to a repetitive punchline. Marshawn Lynch and André Eriksen have some fun moments as buddy assassins, but even they can't save this film from its overall mediocrity.
In short, "Love Hurts" is a disappointing, unengaging film that fails to deliver on its action, comedy, and romance. It's a missed opportunity for Eusebio and his talented cast. So, if you're looking for a fun, action-packed movie, you might want to look elsewhere. That's it for today, folks. Keep it cinematic, and I'll see you at the movies
