A realtor is pulled back into the life he left behind after his former partner-in-crime resurfaces with an ominous message. With his crime-lord brother also on his trail, he must confront his past and the history he never fully buried.

Love Hurts may not leave a bruise, but it’s a pretty passable date with a likable cast, fun fight scenes, and enough charm to overlook a thin story.

'Love Hurts' delivers entertaining action sequences with impressive fight choreography and benefits from Ke Huy Quan's charismatic performance, creating moments of lighthearted charm. However, the film suffers from weak writing, lack of chemistry between leads, and unconvincing romantic elements that undermine the central relationship. The genre blending proves divisive, with tonal shifts feeling jarring to many. While some appreciate its brief runtime and fun approach, most find the script and romance too flawed to overlook.
