This is the version that's easily forgettable.

Un buen ejemplo de cine negro, género fuera de moda que aún conserva su encanto.

Where's James Ellroy when you need him?

A good, not great, movie that benefits from nice period detail and some strong performances (especially Hayek and Leto), even if the real-life Beck was a heavyset, homely mess not anywhere near as attractive as Hayek.

It's with the focus on the police, though, that the script fails to truly connect.

The story of Fernandez and Beck may be grotesque comedy, but Todd Robinson tells it straight, without flinching from its piteousness, horror, or banality.

A rather plodding movie.

When Hayek and Leto are onscreen, you do not look away.

Leto's layered performance as the nattily dressing dandy with no remorse is truly impressive.

Except for the fact that innocent lives are lost here, it would be easy to walk away from Lonely Hearts saying "so what?".

There is some strong work here, but too many misfires.

Noir-ish murder tale is far too dark for kids.
