Pros: It was a movie that was very entertaining Cons: There wasn't nearly enough of Val Kilmer, Brad Pitt, or Christopher Walken
The movie starts of quite slow with main man clarence (christian slater) sitting in a bar on his birthday hitting on a blonde that isn't interested in seeing kung fu movies with him. After the opening credits, Clarence's life begins to change. After ...

Pros: The Tarantino dialogue, a cast loaded with great actors, two super-classic scenes Cons: Too many bullets are fired, not enough Walken and Hopper
"True Romance" is an odd little beast. It manages to weave a singular vision from two, seemingly oppositional threads. On one hand you've got the hyper-verbal, seventies-cinema obsessed script written by Quentin Tarantino. On the other hand, you have...

Pros: Stylish, witty action with a bevy of stars! Cons: None, really.
I like you Clarence. Always have, always will. The King True Romance is one of those movies that is difficult to stick into a nice neat pigeonhole. Rumored to be the script that Quentin Tarantino sold in order to finance his ...

Pros: So many good actors, Walken, Hopper, Gandolfini, Slater, Pitt, Arquette .... Cons: The shower scene where Patricia Arquette gets the crap beat out of her.
This is by far my all-time favorite movie. I remember when this was out at the theater's, it must have been the underrated sleeper hit of the century because no one wanted to see it or talked about it. I psyched myself into going to see it on an...

Pros: A modern love story that works well for dates or beers with the guys. Cons: Not long enough to get enough into characters background.
Pulpy films are becoming oh-so popular these days it's nice to see an original still swimming with the big fish. True Romance has an all-star cast including favs like Christian Slater, Brad Pitt, Patricia Arquette, Christopher Walken and even that guy...

Pros: The blending of styles, amazing cast, sharp witted, score Cons: There is no menu screen on the dvd
Everyone knows who Quentin Tarantino is and if they don't know him by name chances are they have heard of Pulp Fiction at least. Tony Scott is also a well known filmmaker with 80's staples such as Top Gun and Days of Thunder as well as recent films Man ...

Pros: Acting, directing, script, story, characters Cons: can get pretty violent, cursing, drug use
Written by Quentin Tarantino (the director of "Kill Bill" and "Pulp Fiction") and directed by Tony Scott (director of "Top Gun") brings another gory movie in the alignment of other Tarantino stories. This movie is called True Romance, a movie that ...

by rwambold , Feb 10 '00
Pros: Writing, acting, uniqueness Cons: A bit over the top at times
With so many new movies released every year there are only a few I choose to view multiple times. True Romance is among those few.
What begins like a 90s John Hughes film with sappy misfits finding solace in their mutual inability to fit in...

Pros: Great Cast, Great Acting, Great Dialogue Cons: may be a bit extreme for some
True Romance: Wow, what a cast. Denis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, James Gandolfini, Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt and Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Rapaport and a cast against type Bronson Pinchot and I'm not sure if Val...

Pros: Tarantino hits the spot, again! Cons: Not many people have heard of this film.
Where do you start, this film is one of Tarantino's lesser known movies but from the start you can tell it is one of his movies. If you liked Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs then you will love this, it has everything, romance, comedy, action, an all-star...

Pros: Every single scene! Cons: Not a single one.
With the exception of the well-written review by Jack Sommersby I just read, I have never met a single person who doesn't absolutely love this movie. Being that it was released without a lot of fanfare, most people I talk to have never heard of True...

Pros: excellent dialog, character acting : exciting script, well directed Cons: may be too violent or Tarantino-esque for some
"True Romance" is a film about relationships, although it might not seem that way on the surface. After repeat viewings however, I think you’ll agree that although the movie moves and shakes like the Quentin Tarantino crime flick that it is,...

Pros: Jam-packed with stars, Scott's directing & Tarantino's script, extras on special edition DVD Cons: The cursing & graphic violence will offend some
There's no doubting it: Tony Scott's 1993 film True Romance is the director at his finest hour. Much like the film's main protagonists, it's as if fate brought film maestros Quentin Tarantino & Tony Scott together for this ...
