Oscar Winner Ke Huy Quan Stars In The Action Thriller “Love Hurts”

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 an 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.”
