Love Hurts presents an intriguing premise with a martial arts angle driven by a former stunt coordinator and a beloved lead. However, it ultimately disappoints, falling into the category of unsuccessful John Wick knockoffs. The story follows Marvin Gable, a cheerful real estate agent hiding a dark past as a hitman. His life spirals into chaos following a Valentine's card and aggressive confrontations from assassins. Despite attempting to adhere to the successful formula of combining action with personal turmoil, the film struggles to deliver a fresh or engaging experience, leading to its lackluster reception.
"On paper, Love Hurts sounds terrific: A martial arts action movie directed by a former stunt coordinator, starring a beloved actor in the midst of a triumphant career renaissance."
"Real estate agent Marvin Gable might just be the closest a human being can be to a walking ray of sunshine, unfailingly cheery even as chaos ensues around him."
