Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

Dotsthavesp I wanted to but couldn't!

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

tylerwoodrownichols I just got around to watching this film for the first time, and all I can say is that I feel like I'm missing something. I get that tastes are subjective, but all the reviews on here calling this Tarantino's "best script" are just flat-out wrong. I'd heard that there were parallels between True Romance and Natural Born Killers, and I picked up on some of them at certain points. While they are both indeed 90s-flavored road movies about a newlywed couple on the run, where NBK is edgy, exciting, and unlike anything else before or since, I couldn't believe how utterly generic the plot of TR was. I kept thinking that some unique twist or memorable character was going to crop up that explained the cult status of this movie, but it just didn't happen. Don't get me wrong, it's by no means a terrible movie. There's just nothing that sets it apart from basically any other forgettable 90s movie except for the unmistakably Tarantino dialogue (which is far from his best). The acting was decent, but the characters were completely static and I didn't particularly care about any of them. There wasn't even any interesting antagonist who stuck around for more than a few scenes. The pimp at the beginning and his posse (maybe Tarantino's most problematic depiction of black people/manner of talking ever) was just stupid, Christopher Walken's character shows potential but then inexplicably disappears from the movie, who even cares about the police characters? The protagonists aren't much better: Christian Slater (Clarence) is some boring dude who marries a girl after knowing her for less than 24 hours, for some reason kills her ex-pimp (whom she, it would seem, worked for of her own free-will, and for only 4 days) with gun skills that he inexplicably has. Patricia Arquette's character, Alabama's, only memorable feature is that she's really cute, otherwise she just feels like Mallory Knox but without any of the cool stuff. Oh, and then there's Clarence's best friend, Dick. He isn't particularly funny and only really exists to introduce Clarence to some idiot to sell coke too. And then Brad Pitt is just kinda... there. Haha, weed is funny. I actually might even go as far as to say that this is the worst thing Tarantino has ever been involved with.

dallasryan This is one of those crazy sort of movies on a high octane level in between destruction and true love that you just absolutely fall in love with. Every character has something to bring to the table in True Romance. Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette's chemistry is out of this world and you fall in love with them the very minute you meet them. Stand out performances from Gary Oldman, Bronson Pinchot, and Brad Pitt. Not a film for everyone, but for the Wild at Heart's, who love a great Quentin Tarantino script meshed with fantastic Tony Scott direction, and outstanding performances from top to bottom, you will fall in love with this crazy, special film!

classicsoncall You want to hear something funny? Not knowing anything at all what this movie was about, I've avoided it for a long time simply based on the title; I'm just not that big on 'romance' movies. Pretty dumb, huh?Well when I finally learned it was partly a Tarantino project I had to get my hands on it. This all in hindsight, because back in 1993, Tarantino was still pretty much an unknown quantity. With an uncanny ear for scintillating dialog, he lights up the screen with characters and situations that defy logic and gravity alike. And the film doesn't rely simply on the actions of it's principal characters either. The Christopher Walken/Dennis Hopper matchup would be a main event in any arena. The violence of course is quintessentially Tarantino, so one wouldn't be mistaken for thinking that Tony Scott was channeling the famed director this time out, as in virtually all respects, one would think Tarantino did the directing honors on this one too.With a star studded cast of principal and supporting players, this film is non-stop adrenaline all the way. So if you're a fan of this stuff you won't be disappointed. The rubout final showdown between the cops, the mob and the movie mogul's goons is reminiscent of a similar scene in the prior year's "Reservoir Dogs", but this time played out with a multiple cast that you can't keep track of for all the flying bullets and bodies. It's more of a roller coaster ride than the roller coaster ride, and you'll see what I mean if you watch the picture.

Pjtaylor-96-138044 The ending feels tacked on and tonally troubled, though incidentally it isn't the ending that Tarantino wrote and represents the only major story change that took place during the feature's journey from page to screen - aside from a rejigging of the chronology, which is mostly inconsequential and might even be an improvement on the piece. It punctuates Scott's own romantic, fairy-tale view of a story which should really represent a heightened-reality retelling of 'Bonnie and Clyde' - grim ending and all. 'True Romance (1993)' suffers from the usual problems that plague this writer's work, but is still a highly entertaining and brutal picture that shows off its astute pop-culture sensibilities, excruciatingly long moments of nail-biting tension and brilliantly explosive sequences of violence with pride. Plus, that 'Sicilian' scene really is as fantastic as everyone says. 8/10
