DVD Synopsis

Todd Robinson's Lonely Hearts features John Travolta and James Gandolfini as Elmer C. Robinson and Charles Hildebrandt, a pair of homicide detectives who are on the trail of lovers on a crime spree. The evil duo of Ray Fernandez (Jared Leto) and Martha Beck (Salma Hayek) take advantage of elderly widows, stealing as much money as they can after gaining the victim's confidence, and then murdering their mark. Robinson becomes drawn into the case too deeply in order to help him confront his feelings, as his wife has recently killed herself. The story is based on the real life "Lonely Hearts" killers of the late '40s, the infamous couple whom the director's grandfather played a large part in bringing to justice. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide

This is an interesting story and a great cast so it should have been a great movie BUT in my opinion it's only an OK movie. Period hairpieces, make-up, wardrobe and overly dramatic musical score are distracting and make the actors performances seem almost campy rather than compelling. Takes a turn for the good toward the end when the actors get a chance to ACT rather than playing at film noir.
