Love Kills

I just saw "Love Kills" for the first time on cable on my home television; I wish that I had seen it on the big screen. I was flipping around and got hooked right away on the stylish and exciting direction, the right-on dialogue, not to mention the obviously inspired acting all around. I do feel that I must mention Loretta Devine's outstanding performance; she really went there, and took us with her.

Thank you, Mario Van Peebles. I enjoyed the ride; can't wait to do it again.

I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. what starts out as a simple scam quickly collapses into robbery, murder, mayhem and enough plot twists to satisfy anybody. Lesley Ann Warren looks (and acts) very well, and Mario Van Peebles has put together a nice gem of a movie. I recommend it to anyone who likes to keep guessing right up to the end.

This film is a Laurel and Hardy remake, but with trash talk and smelly finger jokes. I had a high regard for the work of Leslie Ann Warren until now. Unfortunately, she has lost all self respect, and mine too. If you can get past the overuse of the f-word, which was no longer funny after the 2000th time it was shouted, you will look in vain for a plot. Pass on this one.

Mario Van Peebles has proven himself again a talented actor AND director. Love Kills is a great mixture of love and mayhem, comedy and tragedy. In addition to the superb talent of Mario Van Peebles, Melvin Van Peebles has a great supporting role as Abel. After strings of action films, it's great to see Mario starring in a funny comedy.
