There’s no wonder why he has recently been awarded the Regional Realtor of the Year award.
Yet within his cheery exterior hides a dark past, one might say criminally so.
Marvin ends up defying those orders and lets Rose go into hiding.

For a movie with such a short runtime, one would think the story ofLove Hurtswould be more contained.
Instead, the film is crammed with characters, often wasting some of its most talented cast members.
It wasn’t just because of his inspirational narrative.
He’s a genuinely good actor with an irresistible appeal.
His history as a stunt choreographer also makes him the prime applicant to play an unlikely action hero.
The action is creative, andQuan effortlessly sheds the wholesomeness for an effectively badass persona.
Quan’s co-star, Ariana DeBose, unfortunately, doesn’t get that same treatment.
She barely even gets to share the screen with her co-star.
Instead, the movie seems more focused on the awkward romance between Raven and Ashley.
There will be times when the film forgoes the narration only to bring it back 20 minutes later.
It almost feels like the filmmakers weren’t given the budget to showcase what’s being told to us.
The editing style is also strange, often implementing quick cuts during some of the more mundane scenes.
Love Hurtsis now playing in theaters.
