This film is short and painful. Well, because that's exactly what he wants to be. Bad so because it is unfortunately not short and good.
The experienced stuntman and stunt coordinator Jonathan Eusebio (“John Wick”, “300”, “Black Panther”, “Matrix Resurrections”) naturally for his first job as a director for Action of the more violent variety Decided and lets a suburban broker on the outside harmlessly and even boring -looking suburban broker in the sign of love on Valentine's Day into a really painful adventure. What is the name of it? “Love Hurts – Love hurts”
Two Oscar stars without the view of consolation prices
Ke Huy Quan (Oscar winner for “Everything EveryWhere All At Once”) is almost mid -50, but is well -experienced in martial arts. Therefore, he seems to be able to plug and hand out almost non -stop for around 80 minutes, and looks like a younger Woody Allen who does one on Jackie Chan. Another Oscar winner is at his side: Ariana Debose (“West Side Story”) mixes various gangs here as Bad Girl. The really amazing thing, however, is how two finished finishes with the highest American Film Award, shortly afterwards in a film like this, for which they should not even count on a consolation price.
Missing across the board
Because he is unable to find the right tone as a director and only get the worst out of his actors, Eusebio delivers almost no entertaining slapstick action, but usually provides us with cynical violent excesses. The bumpy staging of a unsuccessful script simply gives away far too many chances of steering everything in a more bearable way, instead rely on boring supporting characters and also uses the laying solution of internal monologues.
Annoying
There are two chatter-like killers (ex-super-Bowl champion Marshawn Lynch and Norwegian André Eriksen), who again pay an inevitable tarantino reference with long discussions; There is an annoying secretary (in which you have to look twice to find that we do not have Heike Makatsch, but Lio Tipton before us); A poetic knife with a penchant for romance (Mustafa Shakir from “Marvel's Luke Cage”); And finally, an evil brother (Daniel Wu) lives out his bubble-tea addiction (product placement alarm!) And love for violence by adding a sharp straw.
In any case, the short version of “Love Hurts” would be “aiaiai aua autsch auweh”; whereby film figures and spectators feel pain for very different reasons – Some suffer physically, others suffer mentally.
