Love Lies Bleeding

If you are to chose between watching true romance and this movie; chose true romance. I would give that movie 10/10 and this movie 8/10. This is still a very good movie. Different movies leaves difference impressions on me: i sometimes watch movies that are highly rated on IMDb (like "I am legend") and and is bored during the movie and afterward felt like i wasted a part of my life. This is not the case with Love Lies Bleeding. It is very exciting all the way, and balances the action with slower parts to actually produce an emotion of thriller to this viewer.

The acting is decent, and i felt with the characters. They felt like normal people and not like unrealistic super humans that's common these days in movies. The action part is not overdone and also feels realistic to me.

It's been a while since I seen a good film, and this keeps you on the Edge of a the seat,

There is not much I can say without spoiling the film, But a must see Movie it's a constant flow of Romance, Action and Thriller throughout The film,

I would give this a rating of 7, because: A good story line, but nothing new it's been done before, The ending was good, but could have been better "they cut it too short" There was also two actors that I personally fort they could not act for a toffee:-p But overall I was impress and would watch this film again given the choice.

When ex-con Geraghty comes home one day to find his home ransacked (again) and his girl (Dewan) roughed up by gang bangers, he's had enough. When he decides to take matters into his own hands, he shows up at the scene of a shootout over a bag of money left lying on the floor. After grabbing the money and running. He figures a safe distance away and starts to settle down, only to find bad guy psychotic Slater on his trail.

The genre categories on this film are stated as action, drama, and thrills. As for action, very little; drama, more than what should be in any action film; and thrills? Well, no thrills here, especially for someone who doesn't, ordinarily, like movies like this.

As for some of the leads, Geraghty didn't pull off his character, at least I didn't believe him and when did Dewan grow up? In two years, she's gone from high school ballet student in "Step Up" to high school teacher (?!?!?!) in "Fab 5: The Texas Cheerleader Story" and this one, where she's just a kid again starting out on life's journey. Slater was always a favorite of mine, but I just could not believe that he's happy with this performance. Whoever taught him who act as a psycho on the edge should give him a refund (or at least change for that dime he charged Slater for the acting lessons).

Overall, the premise was good, but the acting was not. Three bad acting jobs takes three stars away from what WAS a good story line. 7 out of 10 stars.

This was somewhat a routine set of stories brought up as a single movie to entertain the viewer.The film was not boring though.It was thrilling but nothing to jump up and down about.You know what i mean.The main character "Pollen" could have done a little bit more justice to his character than he did in this movie. Christian Slater does a somewhat minor role compared to roles he played in Broken Arrow etc.In this movie Slater becomes the bad guy who is after the bag of money he lost during a shoot out. Can be recommended if you have gone through all the movies in your movie store and left nothing else to watch when it comes to "Thrillers"

This film was truly awful, its a shame i read a review saying it was like true romance, "true romance being a 10 and this an 8". As true romance is my favourite film i thought i'd given it a go. I wish i'd watched true romance instead. Christian Slater is the only good part in this film and the only reason he is in it is because he must be a bit hard up for cash. The whole way through this couple are disgustingly cheesy and its an extremely cringeworthy film to watch. Also i just kept thinking, why? Why on earth would you do that?! Hated it and cant believe i watched it till the end. I gave this film a 2 and to be honest even thats being a bit generous. I don't blame the actors for the cheese in this film because they weren't overly that bad, but the writer, some lines were terrible. This film is nothing like TRUE ROMANCE.
