Know what rocks? When a dude like Ke Huy Quan gets all the opportunities, he never got back in the day because the world realized (a bit too late, but hey, better late than never) that he just kicks ass. Even if you weren’t crazy about Everything Everywhere All at Once, the dude still walked away with that movie — he’s a Hollywood legend who has never been treated as such, and it’s fucking dope to see him take the lead in a brand-new action movie from the folks who brought you Nobody and Violent Night. It’s called Love Hurts, and it looks funny and fun, at least from this trailer that Univeral dropped on Tuesday.
Take a look:
Here’s a nice and thick synopsis:
“No matter how hard you try, you can’t break up with your past.
This Valentine’s Day, Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan (‘Everything Everywhere All at Once,’ ‘Loki’) rockets into his first major leading man role as an unlikely hero, a seemingly mild-mannered realtor with a dark secret that he is desperate to leave behind. Spoiler alert: He won’t.
From 87North — producers of the groundbreaking action films ‘Nobody,’ ‘Violent Night,’ ‘Bullet Train,’ ‘Atomic Blonde’ and ‘The Fall Guy’ — comes a visceral, high-octane story of wrath and revenge.
Quan stars as Marvin Gable, a realtor working the Milwaukee suburbs, where ‘For Sale’ signs bloom. Gable receives a crimson envelope from Rose (Oscar winner Ariana DeBose; ‘West Side Story,’ ‘Argylle’), a former partner-in-crime that he had left for dead. She’s not happy.
Now, Marvin is thrust back into a world of ruthless hitmen, filled with double-crosses and open houses turned into deadly warzones. With his brother Knuckles (Daniel Wu; ‘Tomb Raider,’ ‘Warcraft’), a volatile crime lord, hunting him, Marvin must confront the choices that haunt him and the history he never truly buried.“
Love Hurts hits theaters right before Valentine’s Day on February 7.
