Film Review, a movie directed by Jonathan Eusebio, written by Matthew Murray, Josh Stoddard and Luke Passamore and starring

To the credit of stunt coordinator turned director Eusebio, Love Hurts' fight scenes are varied and amusing. There's hand-to-hand combat, knife throwing, gunfights, and domestic improvisational weapons like cookie cutters and a set of wall ornaments shaped like a giant fork and spoon.

"Love Hurts," in theaters Friday, proves disappointing with superficial gimmicks and more characters than its 83 minutes can support.

But with “Love Hurts,” 87North has gone farther south than ever, churning out a muddled, mean-spirited action comedy that manages to feel slack and listless despite a flyweight run time of only 83 minutes.

Ke Huy Quan and Ariana DeBose play reunited former associates from a criminal outfit. Sparks don’t exactly fly.

Love Hurts—starring Ke Huy Quan, Ariana DeBose and Marshawn Lynch—is new in theaters. How do critics feel about the action comedy?

The Oscar-winning actor stars alongside fellow honoree Ariana DeBose in director Jonathan Eusebio’s awkward action-comedy about a former assassin, who is pulled out of his normal new life as a real-estate agent and back into a world of bloodshed.

The infinite appeal of star Ke Huy Quan almost saves the movie, along with fight scenes featuring Marshawn Lynch and Mustafa Shakir.
