Love Lies Bleeding (2008)

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

The lead characters are just plain stupid to the point that the plot is totally unbelievable. Almost every scene reeks of morbid stupidity making suspension of disbelief impossible except to wonder how bad can it be right to the end of this abysmal quagmire. I agree with anyone who hated this movie. Anyone who claims to like this movie must own shares in or be a shill for the production company. If not, please have your head examined, immediately. The character Duke is an absolute puke in this film. The actor who portrays him gives a Rassie worthy performance. I kept waiting for him to show something to no avail. I couldn't bear to watch this stupidity right through to the end. I had to switch to another movie and switched back to see if this disastrous entity had any hope of redeeming itself in the end. It didn't. Dumb and Dumber make this the Dumbest movie I have ever seen and the least worthy of watching, ever.

They say that blood money is never good and this movie proves just that.Duke and Amber,a young couple who are engaged, are struggling to survive, when one night a corrupt cop, who will stop at nothing to get his money back, shoots their neighbour, who are also a bunch of thugs who had looted the house several times in order to finance their habits. On the night concerned, Duke, who has purchased a gun, upon returning, finds the thugs dead and the corrupt cop wounded on the floor. He takes the money and informs his fiancée that they are moving.Directed by Keith Samples, written by Brian Strassman, Love Lies Bleeding stars Christian Slater, Jenna Dewan and Brian Geraghty. This is like modern day "Bonnie and Clyde" with the exception that there's emotions involved. But never the less it still manages to captivate audience attention and it is worth watching.Conclusion: A good one to watch.

this is one of the best action movies I've seen in a long time..and me and my spouse watch a lot of films.the acting is very believable,and u just feel for the couple who never seem to get any breaks.. If u want to watch an movie that will keep you on the edge of your seat..this one is a must see for you!from the very first scene this movie draws you into to world of duke and amber,a young couple just trying to build a life together.and when duke comes come to find his girlfriend beaten by some neighborhood thugs,he decides he has had enough and after he decides to buy as gun..their lives are suddenly turned upside down and they are led on the ride of their lives...soon they realize they are in way over their heads..and..well now u have to watch it to find out the rest..

This is my first review as I felt compelled to write to say just how bad this film is.The acting is awful. The direction is awful and this type of storyline has been done to death.What was Christian Slater thinking ? I always watch films to the end of the titles but I was sooo glad when the, "Action", finished, I couldn't bear to see the names associated with this monstrosity.If you have 94 minutes to spare, just go and stare at a wall, you may find it more entertaining.
