"TRUE ROMANCE"

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 13, 2004 | 1 out of 2 found this True Romance (1993) review helpful

Pros: Charactor development and storyline.

Cons: None!

A pleasureable suspicion of belief that has a rollercoaster feel that engrosses the observer. Each character draws the observer into their own perspectives and keeps the attention focused on the outcome of the movie.

True Bliss

Pros: Hard hitting and tender, all at once.

Cons: Constant question: "How would Quentin have done it ?"

This is my personal favorite 1990's movie. It features Christian Slater who along with John Cusack was my foremost movie hero's of the 90's. The only other Slater movie that comes near this to me is Heathers, and to a lesser extent Pump U...p The Volume. Tony Scott directs with a firm hand, the story thunders along with a great soundtrack and fantastic supporting actors. Arquette is a delight and one wonders what derailed her career enough to make her a tv actress, but I suppose Slaters career didn't go anywhere either after this. If there ever was a movie that couples could go to, it has to be this. Brutal it may be, but also very tender and sweet. A gem and a classic if there ever was one. Read more Less

One of the best movies

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Oct 23, 2005

Pros: I saw it and I will see it tens of times

Cons: Qt doesn't make another one as good.

This is a true classic movie, which I enjoyed it every time I saw it. Every scene in this movie, every minute of it, it's pure bliss. If I would've played in it let's say, I couldn't be happier.

Pros: There is no other director working today who commands as much well-deserved respect (and gets it) as QT. We are talking A list actors working together, for probably a fraction of their normal asking rates just to have the opportunity to work under his "unique" direction and somehow he pulls 'em all together and makes it work, no matter the actors' regular "noted" acting genre

Cons: If you do not know by now that this movie, at the behest of this brilliant director, is going to have tons of gore and blood in it then you have no business renting it. The con: your mistake in renting/purchasing it before learning about the story, actors involved, and that it is a QT flick. That is your mistake ... not his. If you want to watch Beaches, then rent Beaches.

I'm VERY female, and I was raised on The Sound of Music, and I imagine QT saw it a couple of times as well. I was also raised on Patton, Shogun, Platoon, Das Boot, Schindler's List, Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Sopranos, Pulp Fiction, Blow,... Resevoir Dogs and even Forrest Gump. What do these things have in common. They use A-List actors to tell otherwise unbelievable stories and make us believe them blood, guts and in this case, a lot of drugs. Whoelese is gonna take Arquette and pair her with C. Slater, push them through one of the best camios I've ever seen from Dracula himself (Oldman), tie him in with Balke from P.Strangers, and a cameo by Brad Pitt as a toker who spills the beans on everyone - which is hard to imagine because there is really no plot until you get to the very end and, just like QT does so well, all of a sudden, it all comes together along with the blood and gore (although I must mention I did miss someone like the Bible-spewing Samuel Jacks Read more Less

Pros: everything

The movie is simply just the best Tarrantino film EVER...!

One hip movie!!!

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 5, 2005

Pros: Screenplay, Dialogue, Soundtrack, and Cast!

Cons: I can't find any!

I have to say this is one of my favorite movies of all times. Tarantino’s script is beautifully written, and Tony Scott did a wonderful job with it. Anway, perfect cast - Christian Slater and Gary Oldmen were cool as heck, Christopher Walken and Den...is Hopper were downright awesome, and Michael Rappaport and Brad Pitt added some hip to the movie. I also have to agree with the other reviews that the scene between Walkin and Hopper is a classic moment in Cinema history. In addition, the sound track is very impressive. Overall the movie is a splendid treat to watch. From start to finish your always wondering what will unfold next. You will definitely want to add this DVD to your collection. Read more Less
