Streaming service Prime Video now offers a 2025 action-comedy film that was met with disapproval from critics, yet audiences seem to find it entertaining
In the world of streaming entertainment, a new action-comedy movie titled "Love Hurts" is set to make a splash, as it's expected to appear in Amazon Prime Video's top 10 in the coming days.
Directed by Jonathan Eusebio, "Love Hurts" follows the life of Marvin Gable, played by Ke Huy Quan, a former hitman turned real estate agent in Milwaukee. His quiet life takes a dramatic turn when he receives a Valentine's Day card from Rose Carlisle, a former associate, disrupting his peaceful existence.
Marvin's brother, Knuckles, a powerful crime lord, played by Daniel Wu, is actively searching for him in the movie. The main antagonists of Marvin Gable in "Love Hurts" are his rivals and challenges linked to his romantic and personal struggles.
The movie has received a mixed response from critics, with some praising its action sequences and others criticising its disjointed plot and failure to balance action and comedy elements effectively. Tasha Robinson from Polygon summed up the movie as, "There are a few stunning fight sequences in the movie - manic, all-out battles that recall John Wick, or some of the later, goofier Nobody movies. But all the scenes stitching the fights together are a drag."
Despite the mixed reviews, "Love Hurts" has managed to garner a 60% rating from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, with the audience consensus reading: "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." The movie has grossed $17 million worldwide since its release this year.

Amazon Prime Video has recently added other 2025 releases like "Black Bag," "Last Breath," and "Novocaine," which have all made it into the trending list. However, comparisons to movies like "John Wick," "Nobody," and "Everything Everywhere All at Once" have mostly highlighted how "Love Hurts" falls short of those standards.
Despite the criticism, "Love Hurts" is available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video, and it may just be worth a watch for fans of action-comedy movies.
