Ke Huy Quan's action movie is painful

You can't be It's everywhere at once Turn him into a formal comeback child in 2022. The narrative reads like a true Hollywood success story, even if Hollywood puts him far ahead in the first place: the former child star turns to rent a stunt coordinator turns on the scene robbery of the ensemble band turns – the deserved Oscar winner. His Sunnis and serious screen seats are mixed together – has anyone ever waved his waist bag with such grace and deadly force? – Make him the ideal action hero for everyone. You can't wait to see what KE will do next, because he has a proper spotlight to step in.

If we know the answer is Love hurts, We may not be that anxious or enthusiastic. This Quan's star vehicle is stock improvised in the scene of OL's former killer drag-back-into-Into, even the star himself tries to try to inject life into it every opportunity, even if the star himself tries to try to inject life into it Inject life into it. The pedigree behind the scenes, the novelty on the name mixes with the actor's newly cast ass kick character, should make it a sure mix of excitement, overflow, humor and confusion. However, the feeling on the screen is like a lot of carefully choreographed chaos, disguised as an action movie. Fans of this type may want to consider prosecuting false advertising.

Marvin Gables (Quan) is a solid and hardworking citizen, and anyone in the suburbs is lucky enough to count as a neighbor. He was happy selling his home in the Greater Milwaukee area, nor was he proud of his recent victory as a regional real estate agent of the year. His boss (played by Goonie Sean Astin) thinks he is a model employee, his colleagues think he is a mentor, and his clients like the personal style he brings, like those home-style cookies he sets up when showing the house. . Marvin is a dream-seeking American dream, and is expressed in modestly.

Then, the Valentine's Day card arrives. Given the holidays are approaching, this is not uncommon. But Marvin was immediately frightened. The message inside scared him even more: “I'm back.” The moment he stepped into the frosted glass office, Marvin cooled down. When he woke up, he found a knife nailing his hand to the table. An eloquent killer named Mustafa Shakir needs to convey a message: Go to see the “knuckles”. The gentleman with the nickname of Puglist in the 1930s was a gangster who controlled the country's underworld. He is also Marvin's brother (Daniel Wu).

Because once upon a time, Marvin worked for law enforcement siblings and undoubtedly defeated anyone who had rubbed and/or put bullets into the road across the boss. (About this crime empire, everyone repeats one rule of AD AD AD AD AD AD AD AD AD AD in the movie: “You stole it from the knuckles, you die. Rose (Ariana DeBose stole it from the knuckles. Except for Marvin fell in love with her. So he drove her to the ubiquitous cemetery, instead of killing her, he let her go. The warning is that she can never come back. This means the message in this Valentine's Day card is a The promise of rupture, and in the near future, Marvin and others promised rupture of limbs.

Back to Marvin's office that standoff: The county's best damn real estate agent manages to free himself and toe with Raven, who is easy to use a knife, and he also sticks to his wristband . Finally, some battles! However, it takes less than a minute to watch the sequence before realizing that close combat seems impressive…when you can actually record what’s going on. This is an early sign Love hurts Probably full of many John Wick– Style punching, kicking, body blows and harsh sharp objects – and some mild guns fu, once appeared after the Assassins André Ericksen and Marshawn “Beastmode” Lynch Lynch – but that doesn't necessarily mean the scene will be with you The kind of creativity, care and choreography of the movie chutzpah that is associated with the Keanu Reeves franchise.

Strangely, given the Ace stunt design collective 87Eleven, the company that gave us Wick movies and the Bob Odenkirk-kicks-ass-ass thriller No one (2021) and many other outstanding figures in the Crash-Bang-Boom type are behind all of this. This is also the first director of Jonathan Eubenio, whose resume is stunt and combat coordinator, which includes several MCU movies, Fall guy, matrix resurrection And original and final John Wick Flick. These are the professionals working here, but the performance of nearly every dynamics demonstrator will only happen by chance at best. Everything is noise, endless mania, dull force falls into things. Combined with some lazy storytelling, Lincoln tunnel-sized plot holes and a few gags, going crazy before they even started completely (see: competitors played by property brother Drew Scott , he brags about his black belt in karate), but is bowled for top-notch elegant violence, you are confused and wondering: What the hell is going wrong here?

Even a half-hearted attempt to get into the weird, Raven is also a poet whose despair of Ashley (Lio Tipton) is upsetting them with disconcerting them. Not surprisingly, even if he couldn't save this hard work of Mishmash, who was in a crime movie, Quan saved a day on screen. We really want someone to stand up and give him a really great showcase to understand his skills. Because this is not. Of course, love can hurt. But it's not as painful as being forced to watch a great actor fall into a bad movie.
