Ke Huy Quan to lead action thriller “Love Hurts,” out this February.
This Valentine’s Day, audiences will see Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan in a thrilling new role. He stars in Love Hurts. It is a high-octane action film from 87North. They are the producers behind Nobody, Violent Night, and Bullet Train. The film is set to hit theaters on February 7. This film marks Quan’s first major leading role after his celebrated performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once.
Quan plays the role of Marvin Gable. He is a seemingly ordinary realtor in the Milwaukee suburbs. However, he has a dark past he’s been trying to leave behind. Marvin’s world is upended when he receives a crimson envelope. It is from his former partner-in-crime, Rose, played by Oscar winner Ariana DeBose (West Side Story).

Open houses turn into battlegrounds as the story unfolds into a visceral journey of wrath and revenge.

It includes former NFL star Marshawn Lynch (Bottoms), Mustafa Shakir (Luke Cage), Lio Tipton (Crazy, Stupid, Love.), Rhys Darby (Jumanji: The Next Level), André Eriksen (Violent Night), and Sean Astin (The Lord of the Rings). The soundtrack is set to be as dynamic as the film’s explosive action, adding to its pulse-pounding pace.
