Lonely Hearts

CrimeDramaRomanceThriller108 min

In the late 1940s, two homicide detectives hunt a couple who use newspaper personals to find and kill vulnerable women. Salma Hayek's Martha Beck and Jared Leto's Raymond Fernandez turn a lonely-hearts scam into a trail of robbery, seduction, and murder, moving from one mark to the next under shifting identities. As the body count grows, the investigation closes in, with John Travolta and James Gandolfini as the detectives following their path through boarding houses, diners, and cheap rented rooms. Drawn from the true story of the so-called Lonely Hearts Killers, the film tracks both the manhunt and the destructive bond at its center.
