http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/06/LONLEY-HEARTS--A-HEARTY-LITTLE-THRILLER.aspx Based on a true story, LONELY HEARTS follows a pocket of troubled characters: a cop with rocky relationships, a con-artist, and a woman with more emotional baggage than the latest Louis Vuitton luggage collection. They all collide in late 40s America, where post-war wives yearned for love and companionship but were naïve to the malicious intents of some men. And so the film follows the story of Martha Beck and Raymond Fernandez, more aptly known as the “Lonely Heart Killers.” The plan was simple: lonely women would post ads in a popular national magazine. Ray would reply with letters oozing with poetry, passion and romance. Once they replied, he would set up a meeting. One of the women who answered was Martha Beck, a lonely nurse from a southwestern town. She was at first a mark, but love at sight made that a whole different story. They were intense, maniacal and both shared the same common interests: kinky sex, violence and money. The two would lure their prey to fork over their cash, and swindle them for every last buck. In the end, they were believed to have murdered about 20 people, 12 of which they confessed. This also included a young girl and her mom. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/06/LONLEY-HEARTS--A-HEARTY-LITTLE-THRILLER.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/06/LONLEY-HEARTS--A-HEARTY-LITTLE-THRILLER.aspx#1143 I need this book. elliza http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/06/LONLEY-HEARTS--A-HEARTY-LITTLE-THRILLER.aspx#1143 Thu, 09 Aug 2007 23:10:54 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/08/06/LONLEY-HEARTS--A-HEARTY-LITTLE-THRILLER.aspx#1230 I loved this film. I found it to be engaging and interesting to follow. Although it wasn't true to the story (The real Martha Beck was FAR from good looking) and was a very 'Hollywood' approach to the story of these 2 serial killers, it was an good performance by all the actors, Jared Leto always impresses me and this was no exception. I was also refreshing to see Salma Hayek as a true bad guy- not someone misunderstood.
