Director Jonathan Eusebio says Ke Huy Quan's emotional attachment to his hard-won Everything Everywhere All at Once Oscar inspired an epic Love Hurts fight scene in which Quan's character risks his life to protect his "real estate agent of the year" award.

Ke Huy Quan has said Steven Spielberg influenced his decision to accept this role, and David Fear of Rolling Stone agrees Quan deserves a chance to showcase his skills in a leading role, but this “lazy action flick” isn’t it. Love may hurt, Fear says, but not as much as watching a great actor stuck in a bad movie. The critic continues:

The new action comedy set in Wisconsin was shot in Canada. But there are some Milwaukee touches, if you look closely. Here are the ones we spotted.
