Carlos May 18, 2025 A stacked star studded roster of actors. A great story with great action. True Romance should be acknowledged more often on how great it is. See more Sam T @RT85636428 3 days ago This really is Tarantino at his best (although directed by Tony Scott) before he got too self indulgent. The story is not realistic at all, but you watch this for the characters and the patented dialogue and action that only Tarantino, Scott and possibly Michael Bay could provide. Starting in Detroit, Christian Slater plays Clarence a self insert for Tarantino, a nerdy store clerk interested in Elvis Pressley (who serves as his conscience), movies and comic books and Patricia Arquette plays Alabama: a prostitute who falls in love with him (like I said not that realistic). After killing Alabama's pimp (Gary Oldman), Clarence accidentally comes into a lot of cocaine that he plans on selling off in LA when he takes a road trip with Alabama to sunny California. Of course it's not as easy as he anticipates. There's a great scene with Clarence's dad (played by the late great Dennis Hopper) antagonizing a group of mobsters headed by Christopher Walken. A fun watch from start to end.

The ensemble cast are amazing but Dennis Hopper stands out, as does Christopher Walken; the scene between the two of them is the best part.

The cast is impeccable, the score is unrivalled for this genre and the lore surrounding this movies only adds to its myth and legend.

True Romance (1993) ***** Tony Scott's masterpiece perfectly marries Quentin Tarantino's razor-sharp dialogue and unforgettable characters with Scott's kinetic visual style, resulting in one of the greatest crime films of the 1990s. Led by terrific performances from Christian Slater and a career-best Patricia Arquette, and featuring an astonishing supporting cast headed by Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken, and Dennis Hopper, TRUE ROMANCE is endlessly quotable, thrilling, and remains a near-perfect blend of style, substance, and pure entertainment. SEE LETTERBOXED FOR FULL REVIEW See more Jonathan H @RT66479691 Jul 29, 2026 I never really understood the hype around this movie. It feels much longer than it is, with many pointless, cliche and boring plot elements. The story isn't compelling in any way and conclusion is utterly ridiculous. There are many great actors in it, yes, and each of them is fine in the role given to them. Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction & Jackie Brown are ten times better than this film. See more Read all reviews
