We always choose an Indie film over a studio-produced one any day of the week. That being said, we had no clue as to what to expect with this story about a young couple that are involved in robbing what appears to be "dirty money" from a gang of Latinos in a suburb of L.A. This film reminded us of movies of the genre that have been better made. It calls to our mind "True Romance", and others with stronger story lines, something this film could have used.As a point of reference, this title has been used so many times before, we thought it might have been a remake of any of the other films, notably, the one from 1999 with Malcolm McDowell and Faye Dunaway in it.Directed by Keith Samples, a man with a lot of experience in television, the movie is based on a weak screenplay by Brian Strasman. The story line doesn't make much sense, but one likes to go along to see where the plot takes us. It is hard to imagine that Duke, the young man in love with Amber, will get involved in trying to outsmart people that want them dead because, stupidly, they have robbed a team of bad cops; little do they know that money was earmarked to trap the gang members in the first place. Thus begin a chase throughout the Western states because Pollen, the sadistic policeman, will not give up and wants to trap the pair and make they pay for the humiliation of being outwitted by an amateur duet.Christian Slater plays another creepy character without good results. Brian Geraghty and Jenna Dewan appear as the lovers that see the opportunity to start a new life far from their own backyard.

I recently purchased Love Lies Bleeding because I'm a fan of Jenna Dewan and Christian Slater. This movie was a decent suspense thriller and I loved every minute of it. Jenna Dewan(Tamara and Step Up) and Brian Geraghty(I Know Who Killed Me and Cruel World) star as a married teenage couple, who have a rough life, until he finds a bag of money. So they take the money and flee to Las Vegas to have a proper wedding. Everything is going great until Christian Slater(Alone in the Dark) and his people show up to claim the money. He plays a good psychopath in this flick, as he hunts the young couple to get back the millions of dollars of drug money. This movie was awesome and scary and suspenseful. I definitely recommend this to anyone who comes across it.

OK the story and action is enough to make this a good movie, but the writers make the couple out to be so stupid it drives you nuts. Without the stupidity I would rate this movie higher, but with it I have to give it a lower score.They steal drug money then buy a bright orange 57 Chevy to run away in. Stupid mistake #1. Then they drive to the next state to buy a house with cash. Stupid mistake #2. They stay in a hotel room and leave the money bag wide open so the room service guy can see it and steal it. Mistake #3. After he recovers the money from the room service guy, he hides it in the bushes where a landscaper finds it. Mistake #4. It goes on and on.

It's been a while since I seen a good film, and this keeps you on the Edge of a the seat, There is not much I can say without spoiling the film, But a must see Movie it's a constant flow of Romance, Action and Thriller throughout The film, I would give this a rating of 7, because: A good story line, but nothing new it's been done before, The ending was good, but could have been better "they cut it too short" There was also two actors that I personally fort they could not act for a toffee:-p But overall I was impress and would watch this film again given the choice.
