Actor Ke Huy Quan is finally front and center after almost four decades in the entertainment industry, a few blockbuster hits and an Oscar under his belt.

Ke Huy Quan has said Steven Spielberg influenced his decision to accept this role, and David Fear of Rolling Stone agrees Quan deserves a chance to showcase his skills in a leading role, but this “lazy action flick” isn’t it. Love may hurt, Fear says, but not as much as watching a great actor stuck in a bad movie. The critic continues:

As a sunny real estate agent with a lethal past, the star of “Everything Everywhere All at Once” is a goodwill machine in “Love Hurts.” The movie itself? No sale.

Ke Huy Quan plays a happy-go-lucky real estate agent whose past life as a hitman comes back to haunt him in "Love Hurts."

Love Hurts” gives audiences the best of both worlds as the story follows former assassin Marvin (Key Huy Quan) as he gets yanked out of his new mundane life as a real estate agent and back into his brother’s world of crime when an old flame returns.

Career revivals like the one that has happened to Ke Huy Quan are extremely rare in Hollywood. As a child, he scored two big back-to-back roles in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and The Goonies.

Love Hurts makes an emotional reference to Ke Huy Quan's recent comeback and Oscar victory during his reunion with The Goonies co-star Sean Astin.
