Customer Reviews: Cool, styisch, but only almost good July 22, 2002 2 out of 2 found this review helpful bdquo;Love Kills" stars and is directed by Mario van Peebles, but to begin with: This movie isn't as good as his prior pictures bdquo;Posse" or bdquo;New Jack City". pAt the beginning of the movie van Peebles escapes from jail with the help of his parter (Loretta Devine), and together they try to get to the money of a rich widdow by posing as fitness-trainer and nurse. Along the way there are many twists and turns (love, double-crossing, blackmail and murder), but the story isn't new and gripping enough to make the picture totally worth it.pYou have to give the movie creit for the characters involved: Daniel Baldwin is great, as well as Donovan Leitch and Mario van Peebles himself, and in a way all figures are a bit over the top (in a positive way). The stylish filmmaking and the good soundtrack underline the Tarantino-style atmosphere, but the thing is that bdquo;Love Kills" simply dosn't have much tempo and even less suspence to lift it above average.pAll in all a good B-movie, but nothing more.
