It was directed with energetic skill by Top Gun Tony Scott, but this breathtaking 1993 thriller (think of it as an adolescent crime fantasy on steroids) has Quentin Tarantino written all over it. True Romance is really part of a loose trilogy that includes Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, with a crackling Tarantino screenplay that rides a fine line between raucous comedy and violent excess. Christian Slater plays Clarence, the comic-book lover who meets a beguiling prostitute named Alabama (Patricia Arquette), confronts her vicious pimp (Gary Oldman), and embarks on a cross-country odyssey with $5 million worth of Mafia cocaine. Mayhem ensues, culminating in a favorite Tarantino climax--the "Mexican standoff"--in which a roomful of guys are pointing guns at each other, waiting to see who shoots first. Brutal, profane, and totally outrageous, True Romance is not for everyone, but with a supporting cast that includes Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Brad Pitt, and Val Kilmer (as the ghost of Elvis!), you can be sure this movie will never be boring. --Jeff Shannon

*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Dennis Hopper, Val Kilmer, Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt, Christopher Walken, Bronson Pinchot, Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Pennsylvania, Tom Sizemore and James Gandolfini are all in this film! I almost missed Val Kilmer's Mentor (aka Elvis), just like I missed a lot about this movie.
Get married to a call girl who was on the job 4 days after one night with her? Then, not be able to breathe the same air as her pimp and kill him? Get a suitcase of the pimp's cocaine and run with it? What was Christian Slater's Clarence thinking? He should have just kept working at the comic store and lived happily ever after with Patricia Arquette's Alabama (interesting name for someone who "is not Florida white trash"). But, then we would not get to see all these fine actors breeze in and out of scenes directed by Tony Scott and written by Quentin Tarantino.
This film feels like Beverly Hills Cop meets Pulp Fiction - sorry that I cannot recommend it as I expected more from all this talent.

Christian Slater is a timid guy who works at a comic book store who is set up with a birthday rookie-prostitute played by Rosanna Arquette. The couple fall head over heels for each other & in an attempt to free his new love from her pimp played by Gary Oldman a brutal, blood splattered & bullet riddled high speed intensity adventure ensues. All star cast of great performances from Christopher Walken-James Gandolfini-Dennis Hopper-Val Kilmer-Brad Pitt
 must see. February 11, 2010
