Lonely Hearts (2007)

Bonnie and Clyde
of the 1940s


Raymond Fernandez (Jared Leto), a con man who meets single, rich women through personal ads, joins forces with Martha Beck (Salma Hayek) in both a romance and in killing at least 12 women across the country who responded to their lonely hearts ads.

Detective Elmer C. Robinson (John Travolta) and Detective Charles Hildebrandt (James Gandolfini) are assigned to bring the couple to justice.

Co-stars include Laura Dern and Scott Caan.

This film is based on a true story and writer/director Todd Robinson is the grandson of Elmer C. Robinson (Travolta's role).

A caution for the squeamish: Lots of violence, but I think this was a very well done story.


Rated R for strong violence and sexual content, nudity and language.
