True Romance
Clarence is a kung fu loving guy whose boss buys him a night with a hooker, Alabama. Clarance quickly falls in love with Alabama and accidentally takes drugs from her pimp. The couple hits the road for California, planning to sell the dope and enjoy the good life in South America with the proceeds, but soon a group of very unhappy underworld characters are after them, as well as the police.

...[a] violently funny genre mishmash that gave Tony Scott's new life, and also transmitted Quentin Tarantino's vision more credibly than the screenwriter and then-novice director could have done himself.

The movie may be stylistically visceral, but it's aesthetically corrupt. It might as well have been called Pump Up the Violence.

This film's various outrages are committed unapologetically, and are very much in the service of its bizarre story.

...a pulpy good time that holds up remarkably well two decades after its theatrical release...

The whole thing rattles along like that pink Cadillac they're driving.

Quentin Tarantino's dirty, funny and unpredictably violent genius powers True Romance, directed by Tony Scott.

Provides some amazing encounters, bravura acting turns and gruesome carnage. But it doesn't add up to enough.

The only thing that goes wrong with the movie is Christian Slater... the failure of its central character ends up being an irritation, but not a film-crippling problem.

If the romance seldom seems 'true', the spiralling violence (script, Quentin Tarantino) does succeed, in a brutish, cod-Jacobean kind of way.

It's Tarantino's gutter poetry that detonates True Romance. This movie is dynamite.

If shoot-'em-up, gobble-'em-down movies like The Fugitive and Jurassic Park are rated PG-13 these days, what does an R-rated action adventure look like? Like True Romance: violent to a fault, glam to the max.

This is the best film Quentin Tarantino never made.
