There is some strong work here, but too many misfires.April 13, 2007

Noir-ish murder tale is far too dark for kids.August 01, 2007
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.April 08, 2008

Leto's layered performance as the nattily dressing dandy with no remorse is truly impressive.July 20, 2007
Except for the fact that innocent lives are lost here, it would be easy to walk away from Lonely Hearts saying "so what?".April 16, 2007
The story of Fernandez and Beck may be grotesque comedy, but Todd Robinson tells it straight, without flinching from its piteousness, horror, or banality.April 13, 2007
A rather plodding movie.
