Love Hurts was fun to watch. Really i give it 3.5 stars. The lead actor and martial artist is very likeable. Most of the fighting scenes are good or really good-- especially when knifes or other everyday objects were used. With plenty of slapstick fight scenes to go around, the best part of the film was when its comedy parts landed well. Especially the two killers on the loose to get Marvin Gable and his love interest "Rose" (a very easy-on-the-eyes, Ariana Debose) are hilarious. The late romantic confession or one-sided love of Marvin for Rose did not feel believable. Still, i could live with that. However, as a theater-seat critic and watcher of kung fu movies, my pet peeve is that if you're doing comedy, stick with it. Don't switch to gore and graphic killings. For example, in one fight sequence Ke Huy Quan hits a guy holding a blade, on his forearm repeatedly, making the poor bloke stab himself about 10 times in the stomach (no exaggeration) and blood splashing all over the place. Then at the end of that sequence, as if the guy is not already dead, Quan punched the side of his face with full force, reminiscent of Bruce Lee's strike of death with knuckles cracking. A smarter option was for Quan to have gently push him down or simply blow on, as the bad guy slided down the wall. That would have been funny. Directors of action movies have to do better than the diet we are currently fed each time we watch this kind of film.
