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.
The film features a killer soundtrack and impressive and diverse cast that includes former NFL running back and Super Bowl champion Marshawn “Beast Mode” Lynch (Bottoms, 80 for Brady), Mustafa Shakir (Emancipation, Luke Cage), Lio Tipton (Crazy, Stupid, Love., Lucy), Rhys Darby (Jumanji: The Next Level, Yes Man), André Eriksen (Violent Night, The Trip) and Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Perry Mason).
Produced by 87North’s Kelly McCormick and David Leitch, Love Hurts is written by Matthew Murray (Sheltered, CloudStreet: Soaring the American West) & Josh Stoddard (Warrior, Kaleidoscope) and Luke Passmore (Archenemy, Slaughterhouse Rulez). Guy Danella (Violent Night) is also producing. The executive producer is Ben Ormand.
Making his feature film directing debut on Love Hurts is acclaimed veteran stunt coordinator and fight coordinator JoJo Eusebio, whose credits include some of the greatest action films of the past decade including Black Panther, The Avengers, the John Wick films, The Matrix Resurrections, Violent Night, The Fall Guy and Deadpool 2. Eusebio also served as the second-unit director on Deadpool 2, Violent Night and Birds of Prey.

00:01Hello.
00:02Morning, Marvin.
00:03Every day is an opportunity to change your life.
00:07Good morning.
00:08Do you think I just woke up one day as a top-selling realtor?
00:11You have won the Regional Realtor of the Year Award.
00:14Congratulations.
00:16No. I had to work for it and stop becoming who I wanted to be.
00:21Mom.
00:24Hiding ain't living.
00:27I'm feeling great all of a sudden.
00:31We've been looking for you.
00:34Marvin Gable.
00:38I thought a has-been killer like yourself would be scarier.
00:42Who are you?
00:44We work with your brother.
00:46He brought us in to find you.
00:49After you let Rose go.
00:51Where's the girl? Where's the money?
00:54Tell my brother to back off.
01:01Baby, baby.
01:10This little four-foot nothing-ass spider monkey ninja got hopped.
01:17Rose?
01:18Hey, Marv.
01:23When you stole from my brother, I got you out.
01:25Why did you come back?
01:28We're hiding, and hiding ain't living.
01:30If we're gonna stop your brother, I'm gonna need the old you, not the realtor.
01:35I told myself that I would never hurt anyone again.
01:42Hey, are you alright?
01:44I'm in the middle of a high-intensity yoga. Can you give me a minute?
01:52I'm so sorry.
01:53I'm so sorry.
01:55My brother said he wanted out, but he double-crossed me.
01:58Find him. Now!
02:00Squish, cheese, then shoot.
02:03Don't worry. I've got guys who can patch all this up like you.
02:12Now let's finish this together.
02:16You want the old me?
02:18You got him.
02:19It's about damn time.
02:24Sorry, brother.
02:29Love hurts.
