Lonely Hearts | Rotten Tomatoes
- ️Mon Apr 16 2012
Several genres and plotlines intertwine in Lonely Hearts but don't connect, creating an uneven and unsatisfying film.
Oaklee D I think the film itself has to thank some superb performances by the all star cast, Salma Hayek stole the show with her menacing portrayal. John Travolta and James Gandolfini had some terrific chemistry. If you can overlook some of the holes in the script writing than this is worth a watch. I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/08/24 Full Review Dani G It's ok, but it's also "meh!". You know what I mean Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review nick s Sets and costumes were great, but the movie wasn't. I found the directing style difficult to watch with those rapid fire camera shots, even in calm scenes. Also there was no sense of mystery or intrigue to the story... it was all on the nose. Though I may have missed something because I got bored and skipped ahead. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review David x What a mess. Some dynamite supporting performances and an immaculate cast, but wow, the attempt to weave storylines together failed miserably into incoherence, and while there are moments of brilliance (from the cast), it's so poorly directed that they never come together as a story. Case in point- Scott Caan is not a great actor, but neither is he a poor one. His character, though, is a cartoon, and I'm sure he did the best he could with it. Come on, young cop mocking a superior officer by cracking wise about his wife's suicide? WTF, seriously? I found this on a list of movies you may have missed kind of article, and I wish I'd kept it that way. Film is a director's medium, and this guy wasted everybody's time and talent. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/31/23 Full Review valarie b Type of Bonnie & Clyde taking advantage of lonely hearts. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A little disjointed. A little overwrought. A little waste of time. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
