Love Lies Bleeding Audience Reviews

Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.
JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
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.
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.
crevy 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.
hamilton7802 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.
