Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
Cathardincu Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
kyleallen_9 I recently purchased Love Lies Bleeding because I'm a fan of Jenna Dewan and Christian Slater. This movie was a decent suspense thriller and I loved every minute of it. Jenna Dewan(Tamara and Step Up) and Brian Geraghty(I Know Who Killed Me and Cruel World) star as a married teenage couple, who have a rough life, until he finds a bag of money. So they take the money and flee to Las Vegas to have a proper wedding. Everything is going great until Christian Slater(Alone in the Dark) and his people show up to claim the money. He plays a good psychopath in this flick, as he hunts the young couple to get back the millions of dollars of drug money. This movie was awesome and scary and suspenseful. I definitely recommend this to anyone who comes across it.
Pratik Jasani 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.
Lopaka Makani OK the story and action is enough to make this a good movie, but the writers make the couple out to be so stupid it drives you nuts. Without the stupidity I would rate this movie higher, but with it I have to give it a lower score.They steal drug money then buy a bright orange 57 Chevy to run away in. Stupid mistake #1. Then they drive to the next state to buy a house with cash. Stupid mistake #2. They stay in a hotel room and leave the money bag wide open so the room service guy can see it and steal it. Mistake #3. After he recovers the money from the room service guy, he hides it in the bushes where a landscaper finds it. Mistake #4. It goes on and on.
Brooke Christian Slater released two films at approximately the same time, "He Was a Quiet Man", and this particular piece. "Love Lies Bleeding" is a modern-day Bonnie and Clyde, but imagine Clyde as a miserably ignorant, somewhat philosophical "nice guy".A young couple, Duke and Amber are living together on the wrong side of the tracks, dealing with poverty, crime, and general economic misfortune until coming upon a bag of money belonging to their drug-dealing neighbors. Also sought after by dirty cop Pollen, they go on the run to escape their depressing lives and find their dream life of a house with a yard and 2.5 children...etc...Jenna Dewan is really developing quality acting skills, especially opposing Christian Slater's frightening "dirty cop" routine. Christian Slater once again shows his talents and versatility (very obvious if going between this film and "He Was a Quiet Man). This was a fantastic role for him. Brian Geraghty was slightly over-done, but it suited the role (Iraq war-vet that didn't come home quite right).Overall, this film was chock-full of stereotypes and stayed rather cookie-cutter and predictable throughout. However, it was entertaining, and kept you going right until the end. Hence my rating of 8/10. It's not perfect by any means, but if you're not looking for substance, it's just a good entertaining film.
