Love Hurts is about a former assassin turned realtor whose past comes back to haunt him and disrupts the life he worked hard to build. The film stars Ke Hu Quan, Ariana DeBose, Mustafa Shakir,  Lio Tipton, Daniel Wu, Cam Gigandet, Marshawn Lynch, Andre Eriksen, Rhys Darby, and Sean Astin.

I thought Love Hurts was a fun movie. It did not reinvent the wheel, but it was nice and easy breezy. It has some similarities to Heart Eyes in the sense that both films are set during Valentine’s Day and both films are bloody. Love Hurts is not a horror comedy; however, it is an action comedy. Key Hu Quan does a great job as Marv Gable who was an assassin who then left that life behind and became a realtor. The movie is fairly by the book for the genre. Key Hu Quan has good chemistry with Ariana DeBose who plays Rose Carlisle. The action scenes are fun and the final showdown between Marv and Marve’s brother, Knuckles played by Daniel Wu is solid.

One thing that surprised me was that the movie’s setting was on Valentine’s Day. From the marketing I did not get the vibe that it was actually set during the holiday. I thought the holiday was being used to promote the film given the title is Love Hurts.

Love Hurts is a fun action comedy and is a good alternative for Valentine’s Day for those who want something different than the usual romantic comedies for the holiday.
