Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Francene Odetta It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Wizard-8 "Love Lies Bleeding" uses a done-to-death plot line, which is, "Protagonist(s) come across a large amount of cash belonging to bad guys, and the bad guys hunt down the protagonist(s)." Even if you haven't seen as many versions of this plot line as I have, more likely than not you'll find this version considerably below average. It goes wrong in a number of ways. The actors playing the protagonists (Brian Geraghty and Jenna Dewan) are much too bland to generate sympathy from the audience, and Christian Slater (who is miscast) overacts so much that his antagonist character isn't the least bit creepy or menacing, coming across more like a cartoon character. But the movie isn't just sunk by the inadequate performances. The script has its share of flaws, such as some needed explanation for things (like how some ways the Slater character identifies and tracks down the protagonists) just isn't there, and how various plot turns are for the most part very predictable (like the climax taking place in... yes, you guessed it - a deserted factory). The direction by Keith Samples is also inadequate - there is very little tension or excitement generated, and the movie for the most part comes across as cheap and tacky. If you want to see a GOOD retelling of this formula, watch the Sean Bean movie "Ca$h" or the Scott Glenn movie "Night Of The Running Man" instead.

zardoz-13 Prolific television director Keith Samples doesn't waste moment in his exciting little crime thriller "Love Lies Bleeding" with Christian Slater cast as a corrupt narcotics detective. As just about everybody else has pointed out, this low-budget, Sony Pictures release appropriates the premise of "True Romance" about a young couple on the lam with a vindictive cop on their tail. Brian Geraghty and Jenna Dewan-Tatum couldn't be more sympathetic as two young people who are struggling to eke out a living. She works at a supermarket, while Duke has little luck finding employment An Iraq veteran, Duke ran afoul of the law when he struck a Federal officer. It seems that the authorities were closing a nursing home where Duke's mother was one of the patients. He served a couple of years and got out on parole. Duke and Amber live near a Hispanic hoodlum who likes to steal from them. In fact, Amber walks in on them as they are stealing a television and a VCR. She tries to thwart them and gets beaten up in the process. When Duke sees her battered face, he goes out and gets an automatic pistol and vows to straight the Mexicans out. LAPD Narcotics Detective Pollen (Christian Slater of "Cuffs") pays a visit to Duke's Hispanic neighbors, but it isn't a social call. Instead, Pollen wants a duffel of drug money that he needs to slip back into its property locker at the police department. Pollen and his men walk into the hoodlums and a gunfight erupts. Pollen survives the fracas. While Pollen is strewn in his own blood at the scene of the shoot-out, Duke walks in and spots the duffel stuffed with loot. He grabs the duffel and takes Amber away in a vintage Chevrolet. They are planning to make a new life for themselves with the illicit drug money. The stop at a casino and win even more money. Inevitably, Pollen catches up with them. A shoot-out ensues, but our hero and heroine manage to escape. Nifty little fun.

Pratik Jasani They say that blood money is never good and this movie proves just that.Duke and Amber,a young couple who are engaged, are struggling to survive, when one night a corrupt cop, who will stop at nothing to get his money back, shoots their neighbour, who are also a bunch of thugs who had looted the house several times in order to finance their habits. On the night concerned, Duke, who has purchased a gun, upon returning, finds the thugs dead and the corrupt cop wounded on the floor. He takes the money and informs his fiancée that they are moving.Directed by Keith Samples, written by Brian Strassman, Love Lies Bleeding stars Christian Slater, Jenna Dewan and Brian Geraghty. This is like modern day "Bonnie and Clyde" with the exception that there's emotions involved. But never the less it still manages to captivate audience attention and it is worth watching.Conclusion: A good one to watch.

flick888 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.
