'Love Hurts' attempts to leverage the success of 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' but falls short, lacking the innovative spirit and depth that made the former film a success. Ke Huy Quan returns, portraying a character that shifts between various roles, reminiscent of his previous performance. However, this new action film misses the whimsical and thoughtful elements of its predecessor, creating a mundane experience where action scenes lack both weight and meaning, leading to a less engaging cinematic experience.
Once again, Quan stars in a movie that asks him to code-switch radically between sweet, lovable bumbler, supremely skilled martial artist, and sleek, intimidating romantic figure.
Love Hurts feels like an exercise in stolen valor, trying to take advantage of EEAAO's reputation and the paths it forged.
