Lonely Hearts

This movie was stolen by Salma Hayak. I'm not sure Travolta, who does a fine job, even knew that this robbery was taking place in a true grit story of murder in the late 1940's. Salma becomes the story and the... Full review

If this story was really based on truth, which it is supposed to be, then Selma Hayek was a poor choice to play Martha Beck. Martha Beck was fat and dumpy. Selma is a lunar opposite. Yes the movie was ok... Full review

Travolta and Gandolfini are great - two cynical cops who have seen it all and are still shocked by the murders. A nice small role with the always great Laura Dern and Salma Hayek is truly the girlfriend from Hell.... Full review

The Lonely Heart Killers were famous for leaving a trail of about 20 or so bodies through various states. For a director who spoke so passionately about a story about his grandfather, you would expect a DVD filled with alternative endings, deleted scenes, or even a more in-depth history of the Lonely Heart Killers. ...

Lonely Hearts unfolds after the gun-assisted suicide of Elmer's wife years earlier, a violent image that weighs heavily on him. Hayek is more than easy on the eyes, but she isn't terribly believable as an archetypal femme fatale. ... Full Review

like 1969 B-movie classic The Honeymoon Killers -....Unfortunately, Travolta is not much cop as Elmer Robinson.....Pretty Jared Leto is perfect as Ray, a weak man mesmerised by his own power to charm.....while Hayek is a slim beauty, yet her character's loneliness and vulnerability are never in doubt.....Salma Hayek is even better as the volcanic Martha, the spinster who sees through Ray's act.... ...
