    A very cool love story, with plenty of violence, humour and more cameos than you can shake a stick at. It?s also all the better for not having Tarantino direct it. Some of the improv/ad lib scenes are brilliant, the Walken and Hopper scene in particular is an absolute classic!

    "Stealing, Cheating, Killing. Who said romance is dead?"

    Clarence marries hooker Alabama, steals cocaine from her pimp, and tries to sell it in Hollywood, while the owners of the coke try to reclaim it.

    "True Romance" is far from a perfect film on a technical level. Still, it is possibly the most entertaining and cool flick of the decade. Its always refreshing to see a film that is so self-referentially violent and makes no qualms about it. Sure, there is absolutely nothing beneath the surface to what is presented on screen. But who watches these films for a deeper meaning? As an action film, "True Romance" loads on the violence, clever dialog, and quirky characters we look for in films such as this.

    Some may be nervous about Tony Scott directing a screenplay by Quentin Tarantino. Scott is best known for directing a lot of vapid and insipid 80s blockbusters such as "Top Gun" and "Beverly Hills Cop II". Fortunately, he doesn't feel the need to impose his own visual style onto Tarantino's script unlike Oliver Stone. In the end, it feels more like a Tarantino picture than a Tony Scott one. As far as the screenplay is concerned, it doesn't have the three-dimensional characters that "Reservoir Dogs" and "Pulp Fiction" had, but it has many of the other hallmarks we have come to expect from Tarantino. The dialog is witty and memorable, with several quotable lines. Also, its an incredibly cool movie, loaded with references to cult films for folks like myself.

    The cast is one of the best of the decade. I'm not even going to go over the great performers who are in it, but I'll just mention my favorite portrayals. Dennis Hopper and Christopher Walken are both amazing, and the interaction between the two is one of the best scenes ever in a movie. Gary Oldman is incredibly sleazy as the pimp Drexl Spivey. And despite being in many other much more acclaimed roles, Brad Pitt will always be the stoner on the couch for me. These are just a few of the memorable roles in the film. This isn't exactly a life changing masterpiece, but is one of the most entertaining and cool films ever made.

    A cracking action/thriller as a couple go on the run with everyone after them. A very entertaining film.

    An overrated movie with an ensemble cast. The Walken/Hopper scene is great, it's the only thing I will remember this movie by.

    Too bad that there are so many good actors in the movie. Most of 'em do some very quick scenes and then they're out. Brad Pitt does also a very memorabl...( read more)e scene as the pothead Lloyd.

    The movie is a basic Tarantino film (his script) with a lot of dialogue that basically have no higher purpose. It will entertain you and give some very good scenes but still it left me kinda cold.

    Tarantino's great script and Hans Zimmer's wonderful music make for a truly entertaining movie.

    haha, this movie was sick, QT is all over it rly... the dark wicked humor and the romance were not balanced enough for my taste though.

    This movie started out good! It was spunky, edgy, colourful and sexy. Then it got all tarantino like and became all about killing and violence
