True Romance (1993)

True Romance is a film that is really cleverly adapted together and is a really cool film with such great characters. This is a cat-and-mouse sort of film and I love films like that a lot. The story is pretty simple and just takes us on a journey through lots of different events. This film is very violent and breathtaking which is what I really like in films. True Romance is a bit like a black comedy because that is what Tarantino's crime films are like. I loved this film a hell of a lot because it was really entertaining, it was cool, it had very interesting characters and there were a lot of absolutely amazing scenes. My favourite scene is with that drug dealer and with Alabama. That is intense, graphic and very effective as well. True Romance is a film that starts in a rather bizarre wa...Read more

"If there's one thing this last week has taught me, it's better to have a gun and not need it than to need a gun and not have it." Due to his distinct directorial flourishes, it's easy to determine if you're watching a movie directed by Tony Scott. Likewise, the style of writer and director Quentin Tarantino is so unique that it's easy to tell if you're witnessing one of his motion pictures. There's a slight exception to these rules, however: 1993's True Romance. Those seeking a movie marked with either director's style will be pleasantly surprised by this Scott-directed, Tarantino-penned slice of filmmaking. Thankfully, the cinematic eyes of Scott and Tarantino form something organic; an irresistible mixture of both directors' strengths that's stylish and sublime. True Romance is simul...Read more

This would be a great movie with just the famous "Sicilian scene" all by itself. However, that part is just the sweet chewy center of a hard bitter tootsie pop of a movie, that no matter how many licks it takes to get to it's middle, it still seems like it's not enough. Directed by Ridley's Scott's brother, Tony & written by Quentin Tarantino, this is modern day lovers on the run story told with enough style, edge & violence to make the idea of Elvis as a guardian angel in this flick believable. Well, sort of. Anyways, if all romance films were made like this one, then you could be sure that my girlfriend wouldn't have to use the implication sex afterwards just to have to drag hairy pimp-ass to the theatre any time a chick-flick was playing. ...Read more

Clarence meets Alabama during a Sonny Chiba double feature. Later on, Alabama confesses that she is a call girl, but she's not a whore. There's a big difference between the two, she says. From then on, Alabama has always been a hundred percent monogamous to Clarence.

One of the best action films ever!
With an outstanding, mind-blowing cast that includes Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt, Christopher Walken; brilliantly directed by Tony Scott; this is by far in my opinion, Quentin Tarantino's best script ever.

Perhaps the best way to summarize the film (and the reasons why to watch it) is to quote Tarantino himself:

"People have asked me,
'So would you ever do a romance movie... like a real romantic movie... without violence?'
"Well, there'll be a lot of things in any movie I do that will be contradictory, but anybody who's a fan of the movie can tell you, the title - True Romance - is not ironic... this is True Romance."
