Blu-ray Review - Heartbreakers (1984)

Vlcsnap-2022-08-06-09h44m41s789

In 1984, film critic Gene Siskel covered "Heartbreakers" on the review show, "At the Movies," tearing into the picture for its lack of likable characters, making for a deeply unsatisfying sit. It's one of those great Siskel moments when he latches on like an angry dog to one idea and won't back down, determined to decimate the feature as a wholly unpleasant viewing experience. Such a take isn't entirely wrong when examining "Heartbreakers," as it does highlight the actions of extremely self-absorbed people refusing to step back and think about their actions, running purely on soured instinct. However, writer/director Bobby Roth doesn't remain fixated on toxic behavior, making a noticeable effort to get past it to better understand what makes the main characters tick, providing an interesting psychological study with difficult men and their self-made problems.  Read the rest at Blu-ray.com
