The Oscar winning actor's first lead role is a major misfire that has plenty of violence but little else to recommend it

Ke Huy Quan has his first lead movie role as a former hitman-turned-realtor whose past creates new stress in his life in action comedy "Love Hurts."

Ke Huy Quan plays a happy-go-lucky real estate agent whose past life as a hitman comes back to haunt him in “Love Hurts.”

Love Hurts is a Universal movie, and since the production company is under the NBCUniversal umbrella, that means it will head to Peacock for streaming.

The Oscar-winning actor stars alongside fellow honoree Ariana DeBose in director Jonathan Eusebio’s awkward action-comedy about a former assassin, who is pulled out of his normal new life as a real-estate agent and back into a world of bloodshed.

But as any former hitman in any movie ever can tell you, the past never stays in the past.
