Review of Lonely Hearts (1982) by Rhys F — 05 Mar 2009
Whilst its great to see Jared Leto in a chunky role, on this occasion he just doesnt have the presence and command to pull it off. Unfortunately this isnt the movies biggest mistake. In choosing to tell the story from the perspective of Travolta's cop the viewer is left with a bland and emotionless protagonist leaving the viewer out in the cold.
The smarter option would have been to tell it from the perspective of Beck and Fernandez, the murderers. Hayek is often put upon to save a movie and in this respect she suceeds, Hayek's portrayal is both dangerous, desperate, sensual and compelling - seriously raising the game of whoever she is sharing the screen with,.
