    I liked this movie because I'm a BIG Tom Sizemore...

    I liked this movie because I'm a BIG Tom Sizemore fan. The only thing I didn't like was the ending. I think he's HOT in this movie. Lenny and Eloise really didn't have anything good in their lives until they fell in love and tried to make it but went down the wrong road for love. I wish it had a better ending. Otherwise, it was one of my favorite Tom Sizemore movies. I can't wait to see Red Planet.

    Awesome film

    Wow Tom Sizemore was so damn HOT in this film. I loved the story of this film it was so great for its time. The relationship between the two main characters was pretty troubling, but you can buy anything but love. The ending was upsetting. I will not say what happened you will have to watch the movie and see. I loved this movie. Such an underrated romance film.

    "Bad Love" ....... good movie................

    Tom Sizemore and Pamela Gidley are lovers who can't catch a break, in "Bad Love". The movie is a character study of damaged people, in a damaged relationship. A long series of dead end jobs for both characters eventually leads to desperation, and a robbery that goes terribly wrong. The acting by Sizemore and Gidley is top notch, and Seymour Cassel, as a pawn shop owner is terrific. This is a good primer for what can go bad in a relationship, as Sizemore's jealousy of Gidley's past lovers leads to some very destructive behavior. I was impressed by the honesty of the script. It does not try to sensationalize, but rather seems quite honest about these two lovers on a collision course with disaster. - MERK
