No love to be found in 'Love Hurts' - Eden Prairie Local News

Ke Huy Quan stars as Marvin Gable, a former hitman turned Realtor, in the film 'Love Hurts' alongside Ariana DeBose as Rose, his love interest and fellow Oscar winner.
The film features a convoluted plot with a loose connection to Valentine's Day, where Marvin's past catches up with him while he navigates his new life.
Critics note that the film struggles with bad acting and implausibility, making it hard to accept Quan as a lethal killer despite his endearing performance.
Overall, 'Love Hurts' is described as an action-romance that fails to deliver, with its best moments overshadowed by weak chemistry and a lack of depth.

It’s neither a remake nor a reboot, nor is it based on existing source material. For that alone, it deserves some credit, as does Universal Pictures for backing and distributing a film that finally puts 53-year-old Ke Huy Quan at the top of the call sheet in his 40-year career.
