jotix100 We always choose an Indie film over a studio-produced one any day of the week. That being said, we had no clue as to what to expect with this story about a young couple that are involved in robbing what appears to be "dirty money" from a gang of Latinos in a suburb of L.A. This film reminded us of movies of the genre that have been better made. It calls to our mind "True Romance", and others with stronger story lines, something this film could have used.As a point of reference, this title has been used so many times before, we thought it might have been a remake of any of the other films, notably, the one from 1999 with Malcolm McDowell and Faye Dunaway in it.Directed by Keith Samples, a man with a lot of experience in television, the movie is based on a weak screenplay by Brian Strasman. The story line doesn't make much sense, but one likes to go along to see where the plot takes us. It is hard to imagine that Duke, the young man in love with Amber, will get involved in trying to outsmart people that want them dead because, stupidly, they have robbed a team of bad cops; little do they know that money was earmarked to trap the gang members in the first place. Thus begin a chase throughout the Western states because Pollen, the sadistic policeman, will not give up and wants to trap the pair and make they pay for the humiliation of being outwitted by an amateur duet.Christian Slater plays another creepy character without good results. Brian Geraghty and Jenna Dewan appear as the lovers that see the opportunity to start a new life far from their own backyard.

kyleallen_9 I recently purchased Love Lies Bleeding because I'm a fan of Jenna Dewan and Christian Slater. This movie was a decent suspense thriller and I loved every minute of it. Jenna Dewan(Tamara and Step Up) and Brian Geraghty(I Know Who Killed Me and Cruel World) star as a married teenage couple, who have a rough life, until he finds a bag of money. So they take the money and flee to Las Vegas to have a proper wedding. Everything is going great until Christian Slater(Alone in the Dark) and his people show up to claim the money. He plays a good psychopath in this flick, as he hunts the young couple to get back the millions of dollars of drug money. This movie was awesome and scary and suspenseful. I definitely recommend this to anyone who comes across it.

moviedude1 When ex-con Geraghty comes home one day to find his home ransacked (again) and his girl (Dewan) roughed up by gang bangers, he's had enough. When he decides to take matters into his own hands, he shows up at the scene of a shootout over a bag of money left lying on the floor. After grabbing the money and running. He figures a safe distance away and starts to settle down, only to find bad guy psychotic Slater on his trail.The genre categories on this film are stated as action, drama, and thrills. As for action, very little; drama, more than what should be in any action film; and thrills? Well, no thrills here, especially for someone who doesn't, ordinarily, like movies like this.As for some of the leads, Geraghty didn't pull off his character, at least I didn't believe him and when did Dewan grow up? In two years, she's gone from high school ballet student in "Step Up" to high school teacher (?!?!?!) in "Fab 5: The Texas Cheerleader Story" and this one, where she's just a kid again starting out on life's journey. Slater was always a favorite of mine, but I just could not believe that he's happy with this performance. Whoever taught him who act as a psycho on the edge should give him a refund (or at least change for that dime he charged Slater for the acting lessons).Overall, the premise was good, but the acting was not. Three bad acting jobs takes three stars away from what WAS a good story line. 7 out of 10 stars.

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.
