It was directed with energetic skill by Top Gun Tony Scott, but this breathtaking 1993 thriller (think of it as an adolescent crime fantasy on steroids) has Quentin Tarantino written all over it. True Romance is really part of a loose trilogy that includes Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, with a crackling Tarantino screenplay that rides a fine line between raucous comedy and violent excess. Christian Slater plays Clarence, the comic-book lover who meets a beguiling prostitute named Alabama (Patricia Arquette), confronts her vicious pimp (Gary Oldman), and embarks on a cross-country odyssey with $5 million worth of Mafia cocaine. Mayhem ensues, culminating in a favorite Tarantino climax--the "Mexican standoff"--in which a roomful of guys are pointing guns at each other, waiting to see who shoots first. Brutal, profane, and totally outrageous, True Romance is not for everyone, but with a supporting cast that includes Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Brad Pitt, and Val Kilmer (as the ghost of Elvis!), you can be sure this movie will never be boring. --Jeff Shannon

 Walken and Hopper July 5, 2010
Christian Lopez (usa)
Walken and Hopper make this movie, the whole exchange they have regarding the Scilians while racist is arguably the best scene in the movie. Brad Pitt as the stoner and Gary Oldman as the pimp are also truly remarkable. It's the minor performances that make this movie.

This is, by far, one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It is frenetic throughout, implausible and not even entertaining. It was torture to watch it once. It now sits in my wastebasket. It was too trashy to even donate to the library. What a waste of a few dollars.
Oh, there was one thing I did like and that was looking at Chris Walken's handsome face for, at least, five minutes. He is a very handsome man!!!!!!
ten $$$$$$$$$$ out of ten May 10, 2010

Wayne G's skinny on the movie
Ten dollar signs=Highest recommendation
Age appeal----------------------21-65(James Cagney wouldn't fit in. )
Type---------------------------Dramedyaction(Sometimes violent, sometimes cute, sometimes raunchy, sometimes insightful, sometimes funny, with each scene standing alone to create a whole. Same style as Pulp Fiction.)
5.1 Music Soundtrack-----------$$$$$$$$$(Calypso theme is infectious, and one of my faves.)
5.1 sound effects--------------$$$$$
Special Effects (CGI)----------NA
Oscar potential----------------Was nominated for some minor film awards with no wins.
Cast---------------------------$$$$$$$$$$(Where to start? Slater is excellent, Arquette is awesome as white trashy CALL GIRL, Dennis Hopper has classic stand off of words with Christopher Walken, Gary Oldman sizzles as the dealer of any illegality, Sammy Jackson gets a small bit, James Gandolfini plays up to his future Sopranos role in a knockdown drag out performance, Brad Pitt plays the role that is perfect for him as the stoner completely unaware of anything, Chris Penn and Tom Sizemore as two cops(have they ever been cops?), and Bronson Pinchot adds his own light touch as Saul Rubinek's assoc.) There are more that you will readily recognize. I did like the review of someone that watched this for 20 minutes and was offended by watching an RRRRRR rated movie. This is not a Disney movie, hello! True Romance does not equate to Spencer's Mountain or From Here to Eternity! If you hated Pulp Fiction, stop now and find another movie.
Language and nudity------------Ample doses of bad language, and very little nekkidness.
Run Time-----------------------120 minutes(And you hate to see it end)
When/where to watch -----------Get it here on AMz NOW, and watch it over and over
Sequel potential---------------No dollar sign
Potential classic--------------$$$$$$$$
Will you ever watch again------$$$$$$$$$$
Director-----------------------Tony Scott and written by Tarantino. Tony Scott also directed Top Gun and Crimson Tide, and you've seen those a thousand times. Tarantino, if you don't know him, then pop in Mary Poppins again on VHS and have a warm glass of milk. Night night!

Laurel Phillips (Molalla, OR USA)
True Romance is a story written by the outrageous and wonderful Quintin Tarantino. Unlike his other famous films, this one is not directed by him, but the director does a great job of staying true to what can only be described as the "Quintinized" way of story telling. I love this movie. And anyone who appreciates the way Quintin writes poweful, strong, butt-kicking women, will appreciate this tale as well. Gary Oldman has a fabulously bad boy role in this movie and he's irresistable as the bad guy. This film is rich with colorful characters and the music is perfect. This film is as close to perfect as they get. Renting it is a waste of money and time, because after seeing it once, you'll run right out and buy it. Save yourself the time and BUY IT NOW.
