While a lot of modern action movies highlight brutality, Jonathan Eusebio’s Love Hurts is a surprise in that it contains a particular level of charm and sweetness. Leaning heavily into its title and Valentine’s Day setting,

Ke Huy Quan has had a weird career. He made two widely seen studio hits as a child, endearing himself to a generation as Short Round in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" and Data in "The Goonies.

The Oscar-winning actor stars alongside fellow honoree Ariana DeBose in director Jonathan Eusebio’s awkward action-comedy about a former assassin, who is pulled out of his normal new life as a real-estate agent and back into a world of bloodshed.

The new action comedy set in Wisconsin was shot in Canada. But there are some Milwaukee touches, if you look closely. Here are the ones we spotted.

In our Love Hurts exclusive clip, Ke Huy Quan's Marvin Gable teams up with Property Brother Drew Scott for an explosive, but hilarious scene.

Ke Huy Quan plays a happy-go-lucky real estate agent named Marvin Gable whose past life as a hitman comes back to haunt him in “Love Hurts.” The action-comedy goes hard on elaborately choreographed fight sequences and violent, bloody deaths. Anything from a boba straw to a cookie cutter is fair game in these gruesome showdowns.

PLOT A mild-mannered realtor discovers that he can’t escape his violent past. CAST Ke Huy Quan, Ariana DeBose, Mustafa Shakir RATED R (strong bloody violence) LENGTH 1:23 WHERE Area theaters BOTTOM LINE Oscar-winner Quan returns in an iffy but passable action comedy.

The latest martial arts effort from the team behind ‘John Wick’ and Nobody’ has a few moments of flare but feels like a fixer-upper in need of some work.

As a sunny real estate agent with a lethal past, the star of “Everything Everywhere All at Once” is a goodwill machine in “Love Hurts.” The movie itself? No sale.

The Oscar winner is charming as ever in his first leading role, but absolutely nothing else in Jonathan Eusebio's action outing is up to snuff.
