‘Love Hurts’ May Not Have Been A Hit With Critics, But Fans Mostly Enjoyed It
Love Hurtswas produced by 87North, the same company who made the enjoyable and stylized — as well as deeply action-heavy — popcorn flicksNobody(which starred Bob Odenkirk) andBullet Train(which starred a murderers' row of talent, including Brad Pitt, Joey King, Bad Bunny, Brian Tyree Henry, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and more). The film falls in line with those others aesthetically speaking, and, frankly, would make up a really rollicking triple-header movie day if you’re ever feeling like having a couchrot day full of action flicks.
The official synopsis forLove Hurts, which was released by Universal, is as follows:
Marvin (Oscar® winner Ke Huy Quan) left behind a violent life to hide in suburban Milwaukee as a mild-mannered realtor. He also left behind Rose (Oscar® winner Ariana DeBose), his former partner in crime. Now she’s back and wants Marvin to help take revenge against his crime lord brother, Knuckles (Daniel Wu). Like it or not, Marvin finds himself back in a wild world of wisecracking hitmen with his open houses erupting into war zones. He’ll need his lethal fighting skills, wit, and heroism to survive and save the day in this action/comedy epic.
Love Hurtsalso marked the directorial debut of award-winning stunt designer Jonathan Eusebio, and featured the acting talents of Mustafa Shakir, Lio Tipton, Cam Gigandet, Marshawn “Beastmode” Lynch, and Quan’sGooniesco-star, Sean Astin. Matthew Murray, Josh Stoddard, and Luke Passmore wrote the script. Kelly McCormick, David Lynch, and Guy Danella produced the film alongside executive producer Ben Ormand.
Fans who reviewed the film on Rotten Tomatoes found the film to be largely enjoyable, with user Michael Msumming it upmost succinctly, saying thatLove Hurtswas “a fun movie. Action-packed, cool fight scenes. A bit predictable but fun to watch nonetheless.” Whether you love it or not will ultimately be up to you, but now you’ll be able to do that from the comfort of your own home come July 07, 2025, thanks to Peacock.
