★ ‘Love Hurts’ is a Valentine’s Day card to action movie fans. The problem is, it’s poorly written and offers little substance. The candy heart inside that says “be mine” leaves a chalky, bitter aftertaste. It’s supposed to be mindless, action-romance fun. In actuality, it’s clunky, annoying and kind of painful to watch…

★ ★ ½ ‘Flight Risk’ is the latest cinematic offering from veteran director Mel Gibson. Despite a promising premise, in which a federal marshall transports a fugitive-turned-witness on an Alaska charter plane only to discover the pilot is a hitman, the story nosedives into…
