Criminal Hearts

About This Movie

Criminal Hearts is a gritty little gem that dives into themes of vengeance and desperation. The film picks up steam when our jilted lead makes a questionable decision to pick up a hitchhiker. This turns their seemingly innocent road trip into a chaotic mix of passion and peril, with a tension that builds steadily. The pacing feels right, keeping you on your toes without losing that character-driven depth. Dave Payne's direction has a raw edge, and the performances aren't overblown, which adds to the film's authenticity. The practical effects are a nice touch, lending a sense of realism to some of the darker moments. It captures a unique slice of '90s indie cinema that feels both urgent and personal.
