Another story about serial killers, this time the killers are a couple, they hunted for "lonely hearts" - lonely women hunger for love by publishing ads in the newspaper, no matter young or older. They disguised as brother and sister, then the male killer got involved with the victims and squeezed every penny of them, eventually murdered them. Another storyline in this film is a policeman who investigated these cases but he had his dark past, three years later, his wife committed suicide without leaving any explanation. This accident bothered and ruined his whole life, including his work and his personal life. When he was looking after the couples, he also start to learn how to face the new life.
First of all, I am so sick of John Travolta's big face, even though his acting is not that bad, I just cannot stand him, which leaves me a very bad impression. I know he's a famous Hollywood star, but, how he can do that to himself? His image is not suitable for acting anymore, horrible to see him now. So I decide that I will never watch "The Wild Hogs" and "Hairspray".
This film is not as ambitious as "The Black Dahlia", at least the story is quite clear and might be a little bit long and boring in the middle, but the only savior is definitely Salma Hayek. To me, it's her best acting time, (btw, I haven't seen "Forida"), a dangerous, heartless killer who was deeply in love with her partner, and the jealousy drove her mad, and also led their way to the death penalty. Jared Leto is good, but James Gandolfini and Laura Dern are wasted.
I heard the serial murders are true events in USA, and women always intend to be blindly in love and turn themselves victims in the end. I just want to say nowadays, romantic love is not everything, we are mature enough to handle the relationships and sensibilities, no more lonely hearts anymore. Life is always like a gold-mine, waiting everyone to dig and find, fun is everywhere.
