Charles D I recently watched True Romance, and it was a wild ride from start to finish. The film follows Clarence, a comic book enthusiast, and Alabama, a call girl, who fall in love and find themselves on the run after stealing a shipment of drugs. Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette have electric chemistry, making their whirlwind romance both intense and believable. The movie is packed with memorable scenes and a stellar supporting cast, including standout performances by Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken. One particularly intense scene between Hopper and Walken had me on the edge of my seat. The dialogue, penned by Quentin Tarantino, is sharp and full of dark humor, adding depth to the fast-paced plot. While the film is undeniably violent, it's delivered with a style that keeps you hooked. Director Tony Scott balances the action with moments of genuine emotion, making for a rollercoaster of a movie experience. If you're into edgy, fast-paced stories with a touch of romance, True Romance is definitely worth a watch.

The film holds a 93% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus stating: "Fueled by Quentin Tarantino's savvy screenplay and a gallery of oddball performances, Tony Scott's 'True Romance' is a funny and violent action jaunt in the best sense." Roger Ebert praised the film's energy and style, noting that "the supporting cast is superb, a roll call of actors at home in these violent waters: Christopher Walken, Dennis Hopper, and Brad Pitt, for example." The film's screenplay, penned by Quentin Tarantino, is celebrated for its sharp dialogue and intricate plot, while Tony Scott's direction brings a vibrant and kinetic energy to the narrative. The ensemble cast delivers memorable performances, contributing to the film's enduring appeal. Over the years, "True Romance" has developed a cult following, with audiences appreciating its unique blend of romance, humor, and violence. Its influence is evident in various aspects of popular culture, cementing its status as a significant work in the crime drama genre. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/25 Full Review David M Despite having seen this before - admittedly not since its original release - and its place in the pop culture of the 1990s, I remember very little about this. But what we have in this Tarantino-written, Tony Scott directed thriller about a pair of lovers running from a drug gang, is a tight thriller (it lacks the undisciplined sprawl of many of Tarantino's later films) with a brilliant script that lapses too often into things that just haven't aged well into these more aware days. The performances are universally excellent, and Scott's sheen looks good (as always); Tarantino's obsession with men shouting in a Mexican standoff is probably not necessary in the film's climax, and it inevitably lacks extra depth. But it stands as a brilliantly made thriller that's not really trying to be anything else except well made. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/25 Full Review Jason S 🌀COLLECTION RATING 97% Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/04/25 Full Review Shaun R An extremely underrated film which does not get the attention like other films of that era. A classic of that era and a film that's simply good fun to watch. The Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken scene is great.
