Seemingly average guy being a surprising action star is a conceit that goes all the way back to Die Hard but has recently been prevalent with movies like Nobody or a Liam Neeson movie that’s not Taken. It’s a formula we’ll see again, but one that looks to have a lot of promise in the 2025 new movie Love Hurts.
I was quickly won over by the Love Hurts trailer, which in addition to showing off Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All at Once Oscar winner in his first leading man role) doing some fun action sequences includes the promise of a Goonies reunion as part of the exciting ensemble cast.
