Editorial Review: Description: This rock'n'roll adventure story tells of two unlikely lovers who accidentally double-cross the Detroit mob by stealing valuable contraband. Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette, flee to Los Angeles where they are sought by both gangsters and cops. Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - "Today Ain't White Boy Day Is It?"Tony Scott's "True Romance" (1994) is a cocktail mixture of action, drugs, sex and violence rollicking with the heedless enthusiasm of a newborn puppy in a Christmas box. The plot is a miasma of over-the-top situations centering on a comic store clerk and a call girl who fall in love and set about making their mark in the world. The murder of the call girl's pimp and the re-appropriation of his drug stash allow this dynamic duo to attain their dreams, but not without some bumps along the way.

Rating: - "You are so Cool!!""Quentin carried the screenplay for this gem for something like 7 years before he sold it and still my favorite work from him. Everyone cool is in this film, no directing from our Pulp Fiction friend, but I got to read a copy of his screenplay (complete with typos!) while watching it. Spot-on!!"PILATE: A Brutal Bible Tale Rating: - WOW!It had been quite a while since I had seen True Romance - my VHS tape warped - and I had forgotten just how good it is. That said, those who have never seen it should be warned that the film is what a friend of mine calls "HARD R-rated". In other words, it is explicit in every sense of an R-rated movie. The director's cut has few changes that I noticed from the VHS edition I had, with one very noticeable and effective change in the final shootout scene. It is a decided improvement, Read More Rating: - What we have here is drugs, the mob, comic books and pimpsDirty drugs, low money and true love are a heady combination. These are really dumb young people? An Hollywood cocktail of mob, cops and a drug deal mixed with murder makes for a surprise of sudden death. Quentin Taratino is the only guy who gets humor out of torture scenes? The cops, the mob and two sets of clueless fools makes for unexpected confrontation. More unexpected is a happy ending. If I were younger and hadn't seen this done with real class, I might have given it 5 stars. ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
