Review of Lonely Hearts (1982) by Jami L — 21 Apr 2009
I normally love period set pieces, but that was not the case with Lonely Hearts.
Think Bonnie and Clyde, without the fantastic classic performances. Or Natural Born Killers, only less gore and considerably less brilliance.
When I saw this all star cast, I was sure this movie was going to hit it out of the park. John Travolta, James Gandolfini, Jared Leto, Salma Hayek, and Laura Dern. But instead they barely rounded second base.
Jared Leto lost all his mysterious allure, playing this middle aged, balding male.
The script was unoriginal and very predictable.
This film gets one star for Salma Hayek looking stunning, as always. It also gets a star because I love the fashion sense that people had in the 40s, a real class act. Other than that, Lonely Hearts has little to offer.
