K W Brilliantly written and executed Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/25 Full Review Michael M "True Romance" is a 1993 crime drama that has garnered critical acclaim for its dynamic storytelling and standout performances. 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.
