| TRAILER |
Love Hurts offers a delightful mix of humor and high-octane action, skillfully executed by the talented Ke Huy Quan, who brings to life Marvin Gable—a likeable, albeit flawed, Milwaukee realtor drawn back into the dangerous world of crime he thought he'd left behind. The film’s charm lies in its ability to balance witty comedy with intense action sequences, making it an enjoyable ride from start to finish.
Jonathan "JoJo" Eusebio, making his feature film debut as director, shows his stunt roots in the seamless choreography and physicality of the film. Eusebio’s experience in martial arts and as a stunt coordinator is evident, delivering thrilling action set pieces that keep viewers on edge. His direction is fast-paced but never loses sight of character development, which is crucial in a film where humor and action are equally important.
Ke Huy Quan’s portrayal of Marvin is both endearing and hilarious, showcasing his impeccable timing in comedic moments while anchoring the emotional beats of the story. As Marvin is drawn back into a world of ruthless hitmen, double-crosses, and family betrayals, Quan’s ability to navigate both action and humor is a true testament to his versatility.
While Love Hurts may not be reinventing the wheel in terms of plot—it's essentially a fish-out-of-water story in a criminal underworld—its execution is fresh and exhilarating. The film is peppered with clever dialogue, delightful character dynamics, and nail-biting action, making it the perfect escape for audiences looking for a fun, light-hearted romp.
In a world where stress and chaos often dominate our daily lives, Love Hurts delivers exactly what it promises: an entertaining, heart-pounding escape with plenty of laughs along the way. It’s a blast from start to finish, and a clear example of why JoJo Eusebio is one to watch in the world of action filmmaking.
Cast: Ke Huy Quan as Marvin Gable, a former hitman-turned-successful realtor; Ariana DeBose as Rose, a former partner-in-crime who pulls Marvin back into a world of danger; Daniel Wu as Knuckles Gable, Marvin's volatile brother and a powerful crime lord.
